For fragrance lovers, only a few out of some of the best oud perfumes stand out, and choosing the right fragrance depends on several factors, such as mood, personality traits, and reliable sources.
However, these days, it’s hard to find original oud perfumes that stand out. So, how to find and make the right choice when it comes to picking the best oud fragrances?
Your perfume complements your personality and tells a lot about you just by what you wear.
Choose strong, smoky ouds with notes of leather and amber if you have a bold and confident personality.
On the other hand, if you have a calm and sophisticated personality, go for light scents, something citrusy and floral.
You can also try fragrances with fruity and spicy woody notes if you are free-spirited or a creative person.
Fragrance changes throughout the day, and each note feels different depending on the occasion.
For daytime, go for fresh and light fragrances. Something with a citrus and aquatic feel.
For evenings or special events, choose something more spicy and strong, such as amber and musk.
Men’s perfumes usually smell a bit deeper and stronger as compared to women’s fragrances. A blend of leather, tobacco, and spicy notes creates a more bold, masculine feel.
Most of the oud fragrances are unisex in nature. While talking about oud perfumes for women, a strong and smoky, rich blend of nutmeg, agarwood, and patchouli suits best; golden or honey oud fits well in this category.
For daily wear, opt for minimal and light fragrances and some refreshing florals, such as notes of citrus that feel soft over your skin and not too heavy.
For special events, wear something deeper and more profound, such as fragrances with the notes of agarwood, musk, amber, or something spicy.
Applying perfume is itself an art. It turns the everyday routine into a ritual that needs to be nurtured. Here are some tips to apply agarwood perfumes to smell good all day long:
Apply the perfume on your pulse points such as wrists, collarbones, behind the ears, elbows, and knees. These are the warmer parts of the body and less exposed to the air. It slowly releases the fragrance, letting it take its time to settle and grow, eventually.
Before applying the perfume, you can layer it with an unscented moisturizer or a lotion after a shower. After layering, if you apply your desired perfume, it will last for a longer duration and make you smell good all day long.
Keep your perfume in a cool, dark place. Somewhere with no direct contact with sunlight. You can also refrigerate it. Check after using if the cap is tightly sealed and not loosely fitted to avoid its contact with air and lose the essence.
