Touch of Oud — the character and story of the fragrance
Touch of Oud by Reza Shari is a unisex fragrance released in 2022.
This is a rich parfum, or extrait, created for those who appreciate expressive compositions with woody, leathery and balsamic nuances.
The Reza Shari brand originates from Germany and specializes in highly concentrated unisex fragrances.
Touch of Oud reflects this aesthetic: it smells composed, deep and distinctive, while maintaining a versatile positioning without being tied exclusively to a masculine or feminine wardrobe.
The fragrance pyramid and composition
The fragrance composition lists benzoin, fir, a leather accord, pear blossom and a woody accord.
This combination brings together resinous softness, cool greenery, dry woods and the distinctive texture of leather.
Benzoin plays a particularly important role: its balsamic nuance can make the fragrance feel warmer and rounder.
Against this backdrop, the leather accord adds density, while fir contributes a fresh coniferous touch that keeps the fragrance from becoming overly heavy.
Pear blossom introduces a delicate floral nuance, softening the strict woody-leathery base.
At the same time, the database does not distinguish separate top, middle and base notes, so Touch of Oud is best understood as a unified composition in which the accords unfold in a single, multilayered progression.
Sillage, longevity and wearability
Touch of Oud is rated as having very strong sillage, so the fragrance quickly makes its presence known and is suited to those who enjoy a noticeable perfume trail.
The extrait reveals itself especially expressively in cool weather, in the evening, at events and in settings where a rich fragrance profile is appropriate.
Because of its high concentration, it is best to start with a small amount: a single spray on the skin may be enough to appreciate how the composition develops.
Precise application recommendations for skin and clothing are not provided for this release, so it is best to adjust the amount gradually, taking the intensity of the sillage and your skin's characteristics into account.
The fragrance will appeal to women and men who prefer woody and leathery compositions with a fougère character.
It can become a striking accent in an autumn-winter wardrobe, but when applied moderately, it is also suitable for cool spring days.
The perfumer and similar fragrances
The composition was created by Reza Shari, the perfumer and owner of the brand.
His work on Touch of Oud is built around contrast: coniferous freshness and floral softness meet leather, resins and woody nuances, creating a distinctive and confident profile.
If you would like to explore a similar aesthetic, take a look at Perry Ellis Perry Ellis by Perry Ellis For Men, as well as Ralph Lauren Monogram and Pryn Parfum Taiga.
These fragrances may appeal to fans of expressive woody and fougère compositions, although Touch of Oud stands out among them for its very strong sillage and extrait concentration.
