From the brand - "I have always believed that perfume is (synonymous with) pleasure. I named the collection Oudgasm because I wanted something that was just as bold as the juices themselves! Out of all the fragrance notes in the world, oud has always given me this incredibly euphoric feeling that is both transformative and transportive - as if it exists in its own universe. My love for oud turned into passion once I moved to the Middle East over 20 years ago where I truly embraced the ritual of layering with it as an act of self expression and self love. The intensity, the richness and the beauty of this ingredient can tell so many stories - so when I started working on Oudgasm, I knew it couldn’t be bottled in just one fragrance! I wanted to explore oud and all of its brilliant facets in hopes that, you too, will fall in love." - Mona Kattan."
Huda Beauty The Kayali Oudgasm Vanilla Oud | 36 is the edp, eau de parfum.
Fragrantica - "it is not your typical vanilla at all, however it is GOOD! First spray i got a lot of saffron, vanilla and oud, almost like a bitter-sweet combination, in a good way, then it dries down to this sweet leather-y woody vanilla note (i know it doesnt have leather but maybe its the cashemere or something but it really has a hint of leather on my skin. ) It is unexpected and good but there is also a familiarity in it. At first i thought it reminded me of Divine Perversion by Hedonik but then it changed again and it hit me. It smells like a mix between Vanille Supermassive by Les EAUX Primordiales & Lovefest Burning Cherry by Kayali with a touch of Oud and Saffron."
Fragrantica - "Smells good, like a combination of Kilian Princess, YSL Black Opium and Kayali Yum Pistachio all rolled into one with a Commodity Gold drydown"
Fragrantica - "This isn’t your typical vanilla. The vanilla in this isn’t your typical sweet vanilla it’s more of a pure vanilla extract scent. The saffron in this is leather like but a gentle leather or more like suede & is reminiscent of Thameen Blue Heart. If you like Blue Heart I think you’ll like this as well. They’re very similar but this is a more gentle version of Blue Heart minus the coconut."
Fragrantica - "Upon initial spray, it smells like if Jo Malone Ginger Biscuit and Eilish no. 1 had a baby. I love it."
