About Al Majed Oud Noir
Al Majed Oud Noir is a unisex fragrance released in 2024 in an extrait de parfum concentration.
The fragrance was created by Al Majed Oud, a Saudi Arabian perfume house that produces fragrances for women, men and all genders.
The fragrance is part of the Classic Collection and reflects the brand’s interest in expressive, rich oriental combinations.
The name Noir immediately sets the mood: this is a dark, seductive and confident composition built around a leathery character.
A fruity raspberry spark softens the composition’s austerity, iris adds powdery elegance, while the amber-woody base makes the fragrance dense, deep and noticeable.
Character and development
In the opening minutes, Al Majed Oud Noir smells bright and slightly sweet, thanks to raspberry.
It then becomes more composed: iris brings a soft, powdery-floral facet to the forefront, creating a beautiful contrast with the rich base.
Amber, leather and woody accords emerge in the base. Together, they create a warm, resinous and nobly dry trail that is not tied to a strictly masculine or feminine wardrobe.
The fragrance feels especially at home in cool weather, in the evening, at a formal event or whenever you want to emphasize your individuality.
Sillage and wearability
According to the stated characteristics, Al Majed Oud Noir has very strong sillage, placing it among noticeable and long-lasting compositions.
Extrait de parfum is generally perceived as richer than eau de toilette or eau de parfum, and here the intensity is reinforced by the leather-amber base.
No exact recommendations for the number of sprays on skin or clothing have been provided for this release.
Given its very strong sillage, it is best to get to know the fragrance gradually, observing how it develops on your own skin and avoiding overwhelming the surrounding space.
The perfumer and its place in the collection
Pierre Constantin Guéros worked on the creation of Al Majed Oud Noir. His task was to unite contrasting textures: juicy raspberry, cool powdery iris and a dark leather-woody base.
The result is an expressive fragrance with a striking transition from a fruity opening to a rich oriental drydown.
For Al Majed Oud, this release is an important example of a contemporary interpretation of the leather fragrance genre.
Noir Parfum / Extrait de Parfum preserves the sensual depth expected from a Middle Eastern brand, while presenting it through a contrasting fruity-powdery composition.
If you enjoy Courrèges Blanc de Courrèges, Tom Ford Tuscan Leather Intense or Mugler Alien Les Parfums de Cuir, Al Majed Oud Noir may also appeal to you with its dense leathery atmosphere and pronounced sillage.
