Notes: Indian oud, Cambodian oud, precious woods
Opening with an acerbic blast, the Indian oud is present from the outset. However, with regards to the barnyard facet that Indian ouds oils are well-renowned for, it's rather castrated by comparison. The Cambodian oud soon infiltrates, with its jammy sweetness, as a dry and screechy woody-musk base waits in the wings...
Although somewhat jagged in its demeanour, Dahn Al Oudh Raysan is a reasonable oud offering that won't set the world alight. With decent longevity, it lacks sufficient complexity and is rather soulless. Personally, Ajmal's Dahn Oudh Al Shams (or the Special Edition) is more animalic and satisfying to wear.
