Expect six hours of longevity on the skin, with moderate projection that radiates about arm's length for the first two hours. It clings to heavy wool clothing much longer, lasting up to ten hours. It performs best in cold, dry winter air but becomes cloying in high summer heat.
Notes Pyramid
Search these notesChoose where each note belongs.
This masculine formulation presents a dry, resinous blend of medicinal oud, green forest pine, and earthy moss. It starts with a heavy balsamic punch that grabs your attention immediately. As it settles, a bitter, resinous heart takes over, leaving a dusty, herbal finish that clings close to the skin for hours without any sweetness. It feels dark, dry, and rustic.
Main Accords
0 MAPPEDAccord data has not been mapped yet.
The dominant balsamic and woody accords behave in a very linear, dry fashion on the skin. The oud is prominent but medicinal, lacking the sweet or animalic facets found in other oriental perfumes. As the scent dries down, the green resins dominate, turning the profile into a dry, dusty forest aroma with a bitter finish.

As the initial blast subsides over the first hour, the fragrance settles into its resinous heart. Here, the green notes emerge, but they are far from fresh-cut grass or summer mint. Think of crushed pine needles, damp forest soil, and dark resins simmering on a cool day. The balsamic edge softens slightly, allowing a dry, herbal woodiness to take the lead on the skin.

EDITORIAL“Amordad VIP 133 Review: Raw Balsamic Oud Meets Earthy Moss”
Amordad VIP 133 hits the skin with an unapologetic burst of raw, medicine-like oud and thick balsamic notes. It does not try to ease you in with bright citrus or sweet top notes. Instead, you get a dry, almost bitter woodiness that immediately establishes a dark, rustic mood. The opening feels heavy, dense, and slightly medicinal, reminding me of pine sap drying on fresh bark.
As the initial blast subsides over the first hour, the fragrance settles into its resinous heart. Here, the green notes emerge, but they are far from fresh-cut grass or summer mint. Think of crushed pine needles, damp forest soil, and dark resins simmering on a cool day. The balsamic edge softens slightly, allowing a dry, herbal woodiness to take the lead on the skin.
On my skin, the fragrance develops a distinct leather-like texture as it moves toward the final stages. The oud remains present, but it loses its sharp edge, blending with a bitter vetiver note. There is zero sweetness here to cushion the blow. The accords feel dry and uncompromising, creating a rugged, earthy bubble that rejects modern, sweet designer trends. It is a dry fougere that behaves more like a niche woody scent.
In terms of performance, the fragrance delivers a solid six hours of noticeable wear before fading to a subtle skin scent. The sillage projects moderately at about arm's length during the first two hours, which is ideal for this type of dense profile. It thrives in cold weather, particularly on windy autumn days or freezing winter nights. The heavy resins easily cut through the cold, wrapping around a heavy wool coat.
This is not a safe choice for beginners or those accustomed to sweet, blue office fragrances. It fits a wearer who prefers earthy, rugged profiles like Lalique Encre Noire but wants a touch of balsamic warmth. It leans heavily masculine, fitting a mature crowd that values dry woods over crowd-pleasing sweetness. Do not wear this to a formal indoor dinner where the dry resins might overwhelm your neighbors.
My final assessment is to sample this before committing to a full bottle. While the price is reasonable, the bitter green finish and medicinal oud opening can be polarizing. It works well as a situational scent for outdoor winter activities or casual evenings by a fireplace. It is a rugged, forest-inspired option for those who want to step away from mainstream sweet colognes.
