Another Face of Oud Elixir
Created for collectors who enjoy dark gourmands, this unisex elixir offers a distinctive contrast between dessert-like sweetness and raw woody depth. The pairing of warm spicy saffron, cocoa, and almond creates a cozy, evening-ready atmosphere suited for crisp autumn evenings and freezing winter nights. Because the profile relies on heavy notes like patchouli, vanille, and oud, it feels opulent, expressive, and unapologetically bold. It fits dressed-up nighttime events, fireside dinners, or personal wear when you want a rich bubble of nutty chocolate and resinous wood. Those sensitive to thick, persistent bases should approach with caution, as its heavy profile easily commands the room and stays noticeable from dawn until dusk.

The scent profile centres on sweet chocolate, creamy vanille, and nutty praline blended against dark northern oud and earthy patchouli. A distinct touch of Ghanaian black cacao provides dry, roasted bitterness in the mid-development, while warm spicy saffron and almond add an exotic texture beneath a faint accent of rose. It is an assertive gourmand perfume chocolate blend balanced by woody resin.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“Maison Yusif Another Face of Oud Elixir Review”
Another Face of Oud Elixir by Maison Yusif greets the nose with an unapologetic surge of confectionary richness. The first spray delivers melted chocolate, buttery praline, and creamy vanille, creating an immediate sensation of an upscale artisan dessert. Yusif Meizongo Jnr constructs an entrance that is thick, sweet, and comforting, avoiding any harsh alcohol sting in favour of pure gourmand warmth.
As the initial sweetness calms over the first hour, the perfume reveals its true nature. Bitter cocoa emerges alongside velvety rose and a dark, resinous Northern oud. This transition shifts the perfume from a simple candy shop into a sophisticated woody composition. In the deep dry-down, earthy patchouli, warm spicy saffron, and nutty almond wrap around the enduring agarwood base, ensuring the sweetness stays tethered to dark earth.
Throughout the wear, the sweet and warm spicy accords trade prominence with the darker wood. The cacao and chocolate tones remain identifiable for hours, but they become drier and nuttier thanks to the almond. Meanwhile, the oud never becomes medicinal or animalic. Instead, it provides a sturdy wooden counterweight that keeps the vanille and rose from turning overly powdery or cloying on skin.
Performance is nothing short of colossal. Community voters unanimously rate the longevity as eternal, comfortably surpassing twelve hours, while projection is described as strong to enormous. Two sprays are more than enough to create a noticeable scent trail that commands attention across an entire room. Because of this massive projection, it is ideal for frosty winter evenings, festive autumn nights, and open-air social events. Wearing this in a cramped office or during humid summer afternoons would overwhelm everyone nearby.
This scent appeals directly to lovers of deep gourmands who want dessert notes backed by serious wood and spice. If you search for a sweet praline perfume that still commands respect, this fits the bill. Conversely, those who prefer crisp, fresh aromatics, transparent musks, or medicinal, smoky oud should look elsewhere. Anyone sensitive to sweet vanille or dense patchouli will likely find the relentless projection fatiguing over a long day.
Another Face of Oud Elixir by Maison Yusif presents a bold celebration of West African cocoa and traditional agarwood. It delivers exceptional staying power and a comforting, indulgent scent trail for cold weather. Due to its sheer potency and specialized sweetness, purchasing a sample before committing to a full bottle is the wisest move.
FAQs
What does Another Face of Oud Elixir smell like?+
Another Face of Oud Elixir smells like decadent dark chocolate, toasted praline, and smooth vanille backed by smoky oud and warm saffron. The fragrance opens with sweet dessert notes before transitioning into bitter cocoa and rose. Its base of earthy patchouli, nutty almond, and Northern oud provides a deep, resinous foundation that balances the confectionary sweetness.
How long does Another Face of Oud Elixir last?+
Another Face of Oud Elixir offers eternal longevity lasting well beyond twelve hours on skin. All community performance votes place this release in the eternal bracket. The concentrated blend of resinous oud, dense patchouli, and almond anchors the fragrance firmly, ensuring that even a single application remains detectable into the next day.
How strong is the projection of Another Face of Oud Elixir?+
The sillage is remarkably potent, with community votes rating it as strong to enormous. Wearers find that the scent projects well beyond an arm's length and can easily fill a room. Because of this massive projection, applying no more than one or two sprays is recommended to avoid overpowering your surroundings.
Is Another Face of Oud Elixir for men or women?+
Another Face of Oud Elixir is a unisex fragrance suitable for anyone who enjoys dark, sweet orientals. Community appeal votes are entirely unisex. While the opening of chocolate and vanille offers rich sweetness, the heart and base introduce dry woods, bitter cacao, and earthy patchouli that prevent it from leaning exclusively feminine or masculine.
What season is best to wear Another Face of Oud Elixir?+
This fragrance is best worn during the cold temperatures of fall and winter. Community seasonal votes show overwhelming preference for winter and autumn wear. The dense composition of chocolate, warm spices, and resinous oud thrives in brisk air, whereas warm summer humidity can make its heavy sweetness feel cloying.
What occasions are most suitable for Another Face of Oud Elixir?+
It is ideal for formal evening events, late-night dinners, and festive winter celebrations. Because of its enormous projection and sweet, decadent profile, it commands attention in social settings. However, it is far too strong and intrusive for quiet corporate offices, healthcare settings, or warm-weather casual activities.
How does the opening of Another Face of Oud Elixir differ from its dry-down?+
The opening is an explosion of sweet gourmand notes, while the dry-down is much woodier, earthy, and nutty. It begins with sugary praline, chocolate, and vanille. Over several hours, those confectionary top notes settle into bitter cocoa, allowing Northern oud, patchouli, saffron, and almond to take center stage on the skin.
What perfumes are similar to Another Face of Oud Elixir?+
It shares similarities with gourmand oud benchmarks like Lancôme Oud Bouquet and Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud. However, Oud Bouquet focuses more heavily on vanilla and praline with less dark cocoa, while Shaghaf Oud is sharper with saffron. This elixir sets itself apart by featuring bitter Ghanaian cacao and roasted almond.
Is Another Face of Oud Elixir worth blind buying?+
Blind buying is not recommended due to its enormous potency and sweet, heavy character. While community ratings stand at a perfect five stars, the combination of eternal staying power, thick patchouli, and dense chocolate is polarising. Purchasing a sample first allows you to evaluate its extreme strength on skin.
How should Another Face of Oud Elixir be applied?+
Apply conservatively with just one or two light sprays to pulse points like the neck or wrists. Given that voters rate the projection as strong to enormous and longevity as eternal, overapplying can quickly become overwhelming. Keeping the spray count low ensures a pleasant scent bubble without suffocating close companions.

Dupes & Alternatives
COMMUNITY DUPESCOREWearers looking for alternatives in the sweet woody genre can explore Lancôme Oud Bouquet, which offers a similar praline and rose synergy but leans softer and lacks dry cacao. Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud provides an accessible saffron and vanilla oud profile, though it smells considerably sharper and lacks the nutty almond nuance of this blend. For an earthy, dark chocolate rose experience without heavy oud, Tom Ford Noir de Noir serves as an elegant, less projecting alternative.
