FAQ
What is the best oud perfume for women?
By our own sales it is Maracuda, our take on Oud Maracuja, with 90 bottles sold in 90 days and a 4.6 from 36 reviews. It is a fruity oud, softer than a traditional smoky one, which is why it suits a lot of people.
Is oud a feminine or masculine scent?
Both. Oud is a raw material, not a gender. Paired with rose, saffron or fruit, as in these five, it reads soft and wearable rather than heavy.
How much do Aromara's oud perfumes cost?
£40 for a 50ml at 35% Extrait, or £6.99 for a 5ml sampler. Buy any 2 get 1 free runs across the range, so three full bottles come to £80.
Which oud lasts the longest?
All five are 35% Extrait and guaranteed for 7+ hours. If any does not last 7 hours, you get your money back.
