Top notesThe first spray

Heart notesOnce it settles

Base notesWhat lingers

Ex Nihilo launched Outcast Blue as an Extrait de Parfum in 2022, made by perfumer Jordi Fernández. Harvey Nichols sell the 100ml for £365. Oudcast is Aromara's take on the Extrait. A full 50ml, 35% Extrait, £40.

Saffron and black pepper open it. Hot, dry spice. A thread of lily of the valley runs through the middle and keeps it clean. Then the base: oud, tobacco, vetiver, sandalwood and oakmoss. Dark, earthy and smoky, more dry than sweet.

The 2019 Eau de Parfum has patchouli in the base. For the Extrait, Ex Nihilo swapped it for agarwood, which is oud. Oudcast follows the Extrait, so the oud is in.

Into saffron and oud? Fragrantica reviewers often compare Outcast Blue to Initio Oud for Greatness. Oud Elite, our take on Oud for Greatness, shares the saffron and the oud but goes rounder, with nutmeg, lavender, patchouli and amber. Oudcast is the drier one, with black pepper, tobacco and moss. We make both: Oud Elite.

FAQ

Is Oudcast a good dupe of Ex Nihilo Outcast Blue Extrait?

Oudcast follows the notes listed for the Extrait: saffron and black pepper, lily of the valley, then agarwood (oud), vetiver, sandalwood, tobacco and oakmoss. Built at 35% Extrait. Harvey Nichols sell the 100ml original at £365. Ours is £40 for 50ml.

Is it the Extrait or the Eau de Parfum?

The Extrait. The 2019 Eau de Parfum has patchouli in the base. The 2022 Extrait has oud instead. Oudcast follows the Extrait.

Why is it called Oudcast?

It is one letter away from Outcast, and that letter turns it into oud, the note the Extrait adds.

What concentration is it?

Both are Extraits de Parfum. Ours is made at 35%, and we publish that number.

Is it unisex?

Yes. Harrods file the original under unisex, and Fragrantica lists it for women and men. Voters there wear it most in winter and autumn, and far more at night than in the day.

How long does Oudcast last?

7+ hours on skin, guaranteed. If it doesn't last 7 hours on you, you get your money back within 60 days. Oudcast is an Extrait de Parfum, made at 35%. Spray onto moisturised skin at your pulse points and let it dry without rubbing.

What if I do not like it?

You have 60 days to decide. Send it back at least 90% full and we refund you. You pay the return postage. Full terms are in our refund policy.

“the fragrances are superb quality. You can tell them from the first spray.”

Ordering from Aromara is super easy and the fragrances are superb quality. You can tell them from the first spray. The extrait certainly makes all the difference. 5*.

Reply from aromara

Thank you, Chris, this is great to hear. When someone picks up on the difference the extrait makes from the very first spray, we know we're doing something right. Really glad the whole experience, start to finish, worked so well for you.
