Oudh 36 Nuit, from Al Haramain Perfumes was released in 2016. The perfumer behind this creation is unknown. It has the top notes of Cardamom, Cedarwood, and Geranium, middle notes of Agarwood (Oud), Rose, and Saffron, and base notes of Labdanum, Musk, and Sandalwood.
Oudh 36 Nuit took me by surprise, I must admit. For a house chiefly known for creating clones of famous fragrances, I was sort of shocked how much I enjoy this scent. I don’t think it’s an original creation however, it seems to be a mix of a handful of certain famous oud-roses. There’s a noticeable similarity to Dior’s Oud Ispahan, namely the pungent rose-water effect which dominates the scent profile. But I also personally find the geranium rather prominent too, with its sappy, slightly green and particularly salty facets heightened by the rose. To me, it almost smells like Roja Dove’s Aouds and the way he utilises ambergris in those creations. It’s a very nice scent, and I’m sure for the price it originally sold for would be a great pickup. Unfortunately I believe it is discontinued now, and for the prices I’ve seen it up on eBay for, I won’t be buying. But I’ll certainly enjoy wearing my sample.
