Description
For those who want to know the real Oud.
Natural perfumery is like jewellery, because dealing with real olfactory jewels. Oud is a star in the constellation of noble raw materials.
Oud Caravan N° 3 is the last and final version of the Oud Caravan project. A rich, lushful fantastic Oud.
It is an authentic Oud, wild and full-fledged, whose animalic notes have been at last tamed.
Real Oud is not a perfume for all. It is not an easy scent to wear, you must have a lion’s heart. He is somehow like the mythical dragon, if your inner force is too weak you will not bear it.
In the Oud Caravan N°3, the Dragon has been bridled and saddled, made ready for you to ride him.
Oud is the perfume of the Bedouin princes of the desert. I have tempered with exotic fruity notes the aspect of excessive power that characterize the headnotes of a good Oud.
A good Oud must be excessively powerful and long-lasting. The initial heaviness is a natural characteristic of a quality Oud but the beauty of this essence is in its heart and endnotes.
The head notes of Oud have to be overcome by the wearer and not all have the energy for that, but these notes are indeed those who give the greatest joy to the real Oud lover.
My aim was to smooth and temper the initial notes and to control their energy in order to make the scent real Oud accessible to a greater number.
Oud is comparable to the date tree of the Arabs, difficult to climb because of the dangerous needles of its leaves, but when you overcome this, you reach a treasure of sweetness, the ripe fresh dates.
It is easier to enjoy the date tree sitting under its shade than by climbing it and eating its dates, likewise, it is easier to smell the sillage of a prince wearing real Oud than to wear it oneself.
Oud Caravan N° 3 is like a date tree where the leaves have been cleaned of their sharp needles so that the treasure of sweetness of the fresh dates is easily at hand.

REVIEWS
William Cummings –
I had tested OUD N* 3, before I ordered a bottle, but was overtaken with awe when it arrived and experienced the raw presence of this superlative fragrance.
It fairly reeks of wildness when first tried on but, dries out to a sexual version of “1001 Arabian Nights”, with princes, turbans and Shaharizad ready to do your bidding.
Other than AALACHO N* 2, it’s the most unusual fragrance I have ever encountered, and I have been looking for the “perfect perfume” for men for over 40 years.
Kudos!! AbdesSalaam.
