Craftoud Kampung Regal — a distinctive woody fragrance
Craftoud Kampung Regal is a unisex perfume in an oil-based format, released in 2023 by the Indian brand Craftoud.
This fragrance is for those who appreciate expressive woody compositions with a noticeable oud presence and prefer a rich, long-lasting olfactory accompaniment.
The name Kampung Regal suggests a distinctive and prestigious fragrance, although its exact concept and creation story are not disclosed in the available information.
Olfactive profile
The composition belongs to the woody fragrance family and is built around oud — a note with a deep, resinous and multifaceted character.
Depending on how it develops on the skin, it may reveal dry woody nuances, gentle smokiness and a warm, almost meditative facet.
The top and middle notes have not been listed separately, so it is more accurate to describe Kampung Regal through its main accord rather than an invented fragrance pyramid.
Here, oud is not a fleeting accent but the central element of the fragrance's character.
It creates a dense and confident scent that will particularly appeal to admirers of Eastern perfumery and those looking for a fragrance with a recognizable woody character.
At the same time, its unisex positioning makes Kampung Regal interesting not only for women but also for men: the final impression will depend on skin temperature, the amount applied and individual perception of oud.
Sillage and wearability
In terms of intensity, Craftoud Kampung Regal is described as a fragrance with very strong sillage.
The oil-based formula usually develops close to the skin during the first few minutes and then leaves a noticeable scent trail, so the composition calls for a careful approach.
For the office, a small room or public transport, it is better to choose a minimal amount, while in the evening and outdoors its richness can be especially impressive.
Exact recommendations for the number of applications on skin and clothing have not been provided.
Start with a small amount on the pulse points and observe how the oud develops specifically on your skin; if necessary, you can gradually increase the intensity.
Before applying it to fabric, test the fragrance on an inconspicuous area, as oil-based perfumes may leave marks.
When to wear Kampung Regal
The dense woody profile and very strong sillage make this perfume especially suitable for cool weather, evenings and occasions when you want to emphasize your individuality.
It can complement a formal look, an expressive evening outfit or a relaxed everyday style when applied in moderation.
In hot weather, the fragrance may feel more intense, so it is best to reduce the amount applied.
Its place in the Craftoud style
Craftoud is an Indian perfume brand specializing in unisex fragrances in an oil-perfume concentration.
Kampung Regal reflects this direction through its rich woody character and universal gender positioning.
The perfumer behind this release has not been named, nor has any information been provided about its belonging to a particular collection or the availability of other concentrations.
Similar fragrances for comparison

Al Musbah Royal Oud and Nabeel Ghanati are also worth exploring as possible next choices.
When comparing them with Kampung Regal, focus primarily on the density of the scent, the character of the oud, longevity and the expressiveness of the sillage.
