Character and Positioning
Hamidi Oud & Perfumes Addiction is a unisex eau de parfum for those who appreciate dark, rich and expressive compositions.
Its olfactive profile combines woody and balsamic nuances, while the contrast between the green accord, smoke, coffee, tobacco, incense and oud creates a distinctive oriental character.
The fragrance was created by Hamidi Oud & Perfumes, a young and ambitious perfume house that entered the global niche fragrance market in 2020 and is based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
The brand is known for its interest in rich oriental motifs, which makes Addiction feel like a composition with a pronounced character and an emphasis on deep resinous and woody nuances.
Development and Impression
At the opening, Addiction smells cool, green and smoky, immediately giving the composition a composed, slightly mysterious tone.
As it develops, balsamic notes, coffee, tobacco and a woody accord emerge, making the fragrance warmer, denser and more expressive.
In the base, incense and oud intensify its resinous, dry and distinguished character.
Thanks to this progression, the fragrance gradually becomes deeper, leaving behind a rich oriental impression without being tied to either a traditionally feminine or masculine wardrobe.
Sillage and Wearability
Addiction is described as having very strong sillage, so the fragrance is particularly noticeable in its surroundings and well suited to fans of intense perfumery.
Its unisex positioning allows it to be worn in different ways: on some skin, the coffee and tobacco nuances will stand out more strongly; on other skin, smoke, incense and woody notes may take the lead.
Addiction develops best in cool weather, in the evening and in situations where a pronounced fragrance accent is appropriate.
Specific dosage recommendations for application to skin and clothing are not provided in the available data. However, given its very strong sillage, it is sensible to start with a small amount and assess its development gradually.
Similar Fragrances
In terms of mood, Addiction can be compared with Nasomatto Black Afgano, as well as ByBozo Black Mafia and Alexandria Fragrances Anubis Kiss.
These fragrances share an interest in dark, woody, smoky and resinous nuances, but each composition interprets them in its own distinctive way.
Other concentrations of Addiction are not listed in the available data, nor is the name of the perfumer who created the composition.
Nevertheless, the combination of a rich eau de parfum, very strong sillage and an oriental woody-balsamic style makes this fragrance a notable choice for those seeking not a neutral background, but a fully formed olfactive statement.
