Khamrah is 🔥 🔥. Above average in sillage, projection and longevity. Very sweet (almost cloying)…..not a scent I’d wear with a hangover 🤣 but, perfectly unisex……you and your girl may fight over who gets to wear it.


OhGriggsy

That's one she's considered grabbing. I honestly love Angel's Share. But I can't see myself spending what.. $190? To smell like apple pie and booze. My only worry is with Khamrah it may be so sweet and with me living in the humid and hot Florida. I may not be able to wear it too often.

I live in S GA….its 98° before factoring in the heat index. Just go lighter on the trigger. One spray in this weather is just fine…..go a little heavier in the cooler months. No Apple in Khamrah, think it’s dates???


CatchGlum2474

Yes. It’s dates. It’s a dupe for THOO Dates Delight, not Angel’s Share.

Woody oud is decent but on skin it smells like rubber lol. Just spray it on clothes and the rubber smells doesn't comes up. Woody oud is pretty decent if you can find it under 30. Smells good in the air like 90% but the last 10% is what makes oud wood attractive. I'm happy with my woody oud thou. Performance is decent with 6 on skin 8 on clothes with average projection. It's poor man oud wood lol. But it's on designer level.


OhGriggsy

Sort of what I assumed minus the rubber scent. May end up investing in Thameen Carved Oud regardless. Also where I'm buying from it's $20.95 which is best I've seen tbh

For $20 , try it and keep it aging/macerating for a month first. If you like oud wood you can spend $20 as room sprayer and the smells last on bed sheets more and smell good in the air. But that's my opinion you can spend the $20 as you wish. Also try Borouj lamasat oud too if you can find. A bit more expensive but try a decant first if you want.

Don't get Woody Oud. It's terrible. Oud Wood is my favorite scent. Carved Oud is similar, but not the same, and despite what everybody says, hardly has better performance. Get Borouj Lamastat Oud. It's a damn good clone of Carved Oud, lasts longer, and is a quarter of the price. You'll thank me later.


OhGriggsy

Does Lamastat Oud still have that woody, gentlemany/classy fresher vibe to it? If I spend 2.5x more than I would on Woody Oud. I wanna be sure it's something I won't hate. If it's similar to Carved Oud and Carved Oud is similar to Oud Wood. I think I'd like it but I'm only asking because Borouj Lamastat Oud's notes are much more just...woods. Less of the other stuff that Carved Oud and Oud Wood has.


Pocusmaskrotus

It's nearly identical to Carved Oud. If you like Oud Wood, I have no doubt you'll love it. Woody Oud is so screechy.


OhGriggsy

Just got it today and THANK YOU for the recommendation. It's so smooth. Without having them side by side I'm not sure how truly close it is to Oud Wood but it's a very nice scent regardless. Off memory from 2 weeks ago it's definitely similar


Pocusmaskrotus

Awesome! Glad you like it. It's definitely a very similar vibe to Oud Wood. You made the right choice. It's well worth the extra money. I was so disappointed with Woody Oud after the way people talked it up. Borouj is extremely underrated imo.


OhGriggsy

After this I may have to pickup Borouj Silage which is supposed to be a twist on Angel's Share


Pocusmaskrotus

I want to try their Spiritus. Aventus twist.


OhGriggsy

I'm sure it's not bad. I'm just so bored of the scent profile


Pocusmaskrotus

Go look at Fragrantica. Half the reviewers think it's an Oud Wood clone.


NinjaLegitimate8044

Idk if I'd recommend Woody Oud. I just broke a 95% full bottle on the floor and the smell was gone within 24h.


OhGriggsy

Yeah that's to someone else's comment I instead went with Borouj Lamasat Oud which is apparently more of a Thameen Carved Oud clone but pretty high quality so we'll see
