Vintage Rose by Ahjaar wears like a spicy amber rose with a bright citrus snap at the start. Cardamom, lemon and cinnamon give it lift early on, then saffron, myrrh and rose pull it into a warmer, more resinous heart. As it settles, patchouli, musk, amber and oud add depth and a darker finish. It may suit shoppers who enjoy rich oriental. Show less

Russian Adam launched Ottoman Empire in 2017, pairing hydro-distilled Bulgarian rose with authentic Assam and Bangladesh agarwood. Top notes of white rose, frangipani, and green cardamom settle quickly into a dense heart of Indian oud, saffron, and cinnamon. The base rests on thick oakmoss, sandalwood, and unburned myrrh. It smells regal, vintage, and distinctly oily on skin during cold late-autumn evenings. Show less

Russian Adam built Ottoman Empire Part II around heavy natural extracts, pairing Bulgarian rose and white rose with dark Indian oud. Opening sprays push sharp cardamom and black pepper before thick florals bloom across the skin. Within thirty minutes, warm cinnamon and saffron soften the barnyard edge of the agarwood, turning the profile dark, spicy, and resinous. The base grounds the composition in sticky amber, raw myrrh, and dry oakmoss, leaving a dense trail that clings for hours. Wear this Extrait de Parfum during crisp autumn evenings or frozen winter nights when heavy orientals shine. Show less

Oudh Nawab by The Exotic Island Perfumer opens with a sharp flash of black pepper, earthy turmeric, and bergamot before settling into a dense heart of Kalimantan oud, Somali myrrh, and sweet Persian dates. Perfumer Juan Perez constructs a heavy, resinous profile where dried figs, cinnamon, and labdanum wrap around a smoky wooden core. As the scent settles, benzoin, dark patchouli, and vetiver keep the dried fruit sweetness grounded. It feels heavy, dry, and distinctly Eastern in style, built for cold evening air rather than air-conditioned offices. Show less

Itr Al Ward is a rose-forward attar perfume that leans warm, spicy and resinous. You get a lift of cardamom and anise over two styles of rose, then a darker heart of saffron, myrrh and incense. As it settles, sandalwood, oud and musk turn the rose more ambery and woody. If you like rich rose with spice and smoke, this is one. Show less

Crafted originally as a Harrods exclusive, Boadicea the Victorious Majestic pairs sweet raspberry preserves against sharp clove spice and dark leather.

Armaf Black Onyx hits the skin with a stark, dry blast of warm cardamom and sharp cinnamon, cut through by a brief splash of lemon. It quickly sheds any initial brightness, settling into a dark, resinous heart of myrrh and dry agarwood. Unlike typical sweet, syrupy amber fragrances, this remains dry, herbal, and slightly bitter, resembling a traditional green barbershop scent from a bygone era. It wears best during freezing winter days and crisp autumn evenings, particularly when dressed up in a heavy wool coat or leather jacket. We recommend sampling this polarizing blend before buying a full bottle, as its lack of sweetness can surprise modern noses accustomed to gourmand trends. Show less

OT - 23 by Olfattology hits the skin with a sharp, medicinal burst of saffron and bitter orange before settling into an unexpected oceanic floral haze. This unisex composition plays a strange game of tug-of-war between cold sea notes and warm, smoky resins like myrrh and gurjan balsam. Unlike typical marine scents that rely on bright citrus or clean laundry musks, this one uses cypriol and agarwood to ground the watery accords in something damp, earthy, and metallic. It is a challenging option that sits comfortably on cool spring days or foggy autumn afternoons. If you want a clean office scent, look elsewhere, but if you appreciate dark, salty woods, this is worth a sample. Show less

Levantium is a warm spicy, woody rose oud with a clear herbal streak. Reviewers often notice saffron, wormwood and oud first, with rose and florals rounding the heart rather than turning it soft or sweet. It is bold for a Penhaligon's EDT, often better in cool or dry weather, and worth sampling if you are sensitive to bitter herbs, strong saffron or. Show less

Kew Garden by Salas is a heavy, resinous woody perfume built around dark woods and kitchen spices. It opens with bitter green wormwood and tangy grapefruit before settling into a warm core of nutmeg, cardamom, and cinnamon.

Aamal by The Spirit of Dubai opens with an intense blast of dark agarwood, sweet Turkish rose, and spiced candied fruits. Bergamot and pink pepper spark initial brightness before coffee and cinnamon warm up the top notes. As it settles, the scent reveals a heavy heart of patchouli, saffron, and resinous benzoin. The base lingers for hours on a foundation of amber, Indian oud, leather, and smoked incense. It creates an assertive, opulent aura suited for crisp winter nights and formal black-tie events where subtle skin scents get lost in the cold air. Show less
