Versace Oud Noir Eau de Parfum

Product Information

The opening is all peppery woods and smoke, a really nice kind of somehow clean and fresh smoky oud, in spite of how contradictory that might sound. Eventually these darker notes give way to sweeter neroli and some bigarade for counter-balance, all of which replaces the grape leaf opening of Versace Man. The familiar saffron and cardamom from Versace Man floats into view, with the tobacco note of Versace Man died down to a nondescript tonka to support a greater presence of patchouli and woody-amber materials judiciously applied (no sandpaper scratch here). Beyond that, traces of Amouage-like incense (the highest-quality note in Versace pour Homme Oud Noir) really hit home the purpose of this being a "premium" upgrade from the usual masculine Versace fare. Performance is perfectly fine, although this gets quieter after hour two.

First oud fragrance I ever tried. Sprayed it and thought "that smells familiar", couldn't place it though. Little while later I thought "Spicebomb." Definitely some similarities. Pleasant scent, sweet, not sure it told me what oud smells like yet. Will have to sample again. I absolutely love this one. Very masculine, spicy, orangy / oudy fragrance that smells very classy with high quality ingredients. This scent is often compared to Tom Ford Oud Wood but honestly I think this one is much better than the Tom Ford. This one is much more masculine and smells confidence. You spray this in the morning and you feel like a boss ready to achieve big goals. 10/10 for this fragrance. Fragrantica.com It doesn’t last long on many people, but it does on me. The saffron and OUD mix quite well. Don’t expect strong projection, people will smell you for sure that you know. It’s a complement getter big time but not outdoors or in big crowds, Specifically, I’ve discovered it projects mildly from skin for the first 2 hours, before simmering closer for another 3. Therefore, expect about 5 hours of total longevity. Versace colognes are renowned for high versatility. Although Oud Noir doesn’t hit those lofty heights, it’s still one of the most appealing ouds in circulation.

Versace pour Homme Oud Noir is a favorite of mine, and it may have entered discontinued status just recently and it's availability may start waning. If you find a bottle available at any sort of reasonable price I would recommend it. I don’t know why others keep sayings it’s discontinued. I have 2022 bottles, one of them a tester. That’s means somewhere in the world Oud Noir is available on shelves with tester bottles. This scent in one word? Accessible. So many ouds are overpowering to non-fragrance enthusiasts and while we may like them, the "skank" can be overpowering for most normal people.

An elegant, classy, exotic, and glorious fragrance from Versace!! The bottle may resemble Versace pour Homme, et. al., but make no mistake, Oud Noir is NOT a flanker of any permutation of Versace pour Homme. Rather, it is an entirely different scent that just happens to share the bottle design and "Versace pour Homme" moniker. Scents like these are great for introducing people around you to the smell of oud. The oud is nice, but not overpowering, and clean. I prefer this in cooler weather. The seduction of a desert sunset; a warm breeze in the air giving a feeling of well being. A sensual heady aroma, almost aphrodisiacal. One of the finest ingredients of perfumery craftsmanship gives life to Versace Pour Homme Noir Oud, the fragrance for men by Versace designed for lovers of oriental fragrances, for a man with a strong personality. An intense and regal composition; spicy and with a deep scent of leather. Versace Pour Homme Oud Noir is a Mukhallat style oud Eau de Parfum fragrance. Mukhallat means it is oud that is mixed with other essential oils rather than just straight oud oil.Oud Noir is a wonderful smelling fragrance with a dark, warm and cozy vibe. The supporting notes work very well with the more predominant oud note. And additionally, orange works alongside that spice. It imbues a zesty brightness, bringing fresh balance to the darkened woods. Side note: Versace Oud Noir draws instant parallels to Tom Ford Oud Wood. Both colognes craft oud in a way that feels stylish and considered for the Western market. To be honest, House Versace is hit or miss with me - mostly miss, and I had serious doubts about Oud Noir before I had even tried it. I'm really glad I did. Versace did a great job with this fragrance. I see this fragrance as a cool weather choice. It is on the more elegant side of things, so I'm more inclined to wear this with a collar than with a pair of jeans. Safe for work, albeit a bit daring. I'd put this on the same shelf as my 'power colognes' but I wouldn't rank it near the top.
