Oud Abramad is a dry, smoky, woody-amber oud composition built around a spicy saffron-ginger opening that quickly moves into a savory, slightly medicinal heart of cumin and Turkish rose, and then settles on a dark, resinous, woody base of agarwood (oud), incense, labdanum/cistus, guaiac wood and patchouli with animalic/ambery accents (castoreum and orcanox/ambroxan). The overall personality is warm, resinous and somewhat austere — oud-driven but restrained and textured with a smoky/medicinal edge and a faint floral/rosy impression rather than a lush rose note. It leans masculine in feel to many reviewers, but is presented and worn as a unisex oriental-oud. Best suited to autumn/winter and evening or formal/business-leaning settings; many reviewers also recommend it for layering or for those who want a wearable Western take on oud.
