About Hoi An
Hoi An is a perfume oil by Ensar Oud / Oriscent, released in 2023.
The fragrance belongs to the oriental and woody families, while its unisex positioning makes the composition appealing to both women and men who appreciate expressive oud-woody accords.
The release is part of the EO Platinum Attars collection, a line that places particular emphasis on the richness, depth and character of naturally expressive materials.
The perfume oil format provides a dense, skin-close application and gradual development, without the sharp opening commonly associated with alcohol-based compositions.
Character and scent profile
The main theme of Hoi An is oud, a noble and multifaceted material with woody, resinous and oriental nuances.
In this composition, it takes center stage, making the fragrance ideal for those who want to experience not just a subtle hint of wood, but a full, distinctive oud character.
The available information does not divide the Hoi An pyramid into top, middle and base notes.
It is known that oud is listed among the ingredients, so the fragrance is best understood as a seamless development of its central accord: it may smell deep, rich and especially expressive on warm skin.
Hoi An is described as having a very strong sillage.
The oil formula and high intensity make the fragrance noticeable even in small amounts, so it is well suited to occasions when you want to emphasize your individuality: evening outings, special events, intimate gatherings and cool weather.
How to wear Hoi An
The available description does not specify the exact amount to apply to skin or clothing.
Given its very strong sillage, it is sensible to start with a minimal amount and assess its development after some time, especially when trying oud perfume oils for the first time.
You can apply the fragrance to pulse points, avoiding vigorous rubbing so that the composition develops more naturally.
The oud accord may last longer on clothing, so it is worth testing the fabric’s reaction on an inconspicuous area before applying the fragrance.
Who will enjoy this fragrance
Hoi An was created for lovers of oriental perfumery, woody compositions and expressive oud.
This is not a universally easygoing background fragrance, but a distinctive perfume with a strong presence that is best chosen deliberately—especially if you enjoy rich, warm compositions with a noticeable trail.
In terms of mood, Hoi An can be compared with Swiss Arabian Kalimat, as well as Al Musbah Royal Oud and Nabeel Ghanati.
However, Hoi An stands out for its oil concentration, emphasis on oud and place in the niche EO Platinum Attars collection.
