Fragrance information:
Craftoud Oud Siju — a woody fragrance with an oud character
Craftoud Oud Siju is an oil perfume from the Indian brand Craftoud, released in 2023.
The composition is presented as unisex, so it is not tied to a strictly feminine or masculine fragrance wardrobe and may unfold differently depending on the skin.
Craftoud is based in India and specializes in unisex fragrances in oil perfume format.
For Oud Siju, the format itself is particularly important: the oily texture usually stays closer to the skin, while the scent develops gradually without forming a strong cloud immediately after application.
Olfactive Profile
The fragrance belongs to the woody family and note groups.
Its only listed note is oud, so Oud Siju should be understood as a composition built around an expressive woody accord rather than a complex pyramid with clearly developed top, heart and base notes.
This profile will appeal to those who value a deep, rich and distinctive woody character.
Oud can become the main accent of an image: it adds density, character and an oriental mood to the perfume while retaining a versatile positioning thanks to its unisex format.
Sillage and Wearability
According to the product card, the sillage of Craftoud Oud Siju is rated as very strong.
This means that the fragrance is noticeable beyond close range, so it is best to be careful with the dosage, especially in small rooms, on public transport and in hot weather.
No precise recommendations for the number of applications on skin or clothing are provided.
It is more practical to start with a minimal amount of the oil perfume, assess how it develops after a few minutes and, if necessary, add a small amount to specific areas.
Oud may last longer on fabric than on skin, so clothing should be tested carefully.
When to Choose Oud Siju
Craftoud Oud Siju is suitable for evening outings, cooler seasons and occasions when a distinctive woody accent is appropriate.
There are no strict gender restrictions: the fragrance can be added to either a masculine or feminine collection, depending on your own perception of oud and the intensity you prefer.
The perfumer is not specified in the available information, nor is a separate brand collection listed.
Other concentrations of this fragrance are not available either, so it is impossible to compare Oud Siju with Eau de Toilette, Eau de Parfum or Extrait versions.
For further exploration, you might consider Swiss Arabian Kalimat, Al Musbah Royal Oud and Nabeel Ghanati — they share an interest in rich oriental and woody fragrances.
