This is an expressive composition for those who appreciate rich oriental fragrances with a woody character, gourmand softness and noticeable depth.
The name Obsession of Oud immediately sets the mood: the fragrance is built around a noble woody theme, but it does not reduce oud to a dry or straightforward interpretation.
It combines contrasting facets — sweetness, smokiness, the warmth of wood and a touch of animalic expressiveness.
As a result, the perfume feels multidimensional and leaves a memorable impression.
The release appeared in 2023, as confirmed by the fragrance profile: Swiss Arabian Obsession of Oud release year.
It reflects the character of a brand founded in 1974 that brought together European technological expertise and centuries-old Arab perfumery traditions.
As a result, the composition sounds modern while preserving the Eastern school’s love of dense, luxurious and long-lasting fragrances.
It is positioned as a unisex fragrance, suitable for both women and men who choose distinctive woody compositions without being bound by traditional gender codes.
Obsession of Oud is especially fitting in cool weather, in the evening, at a special occasion or whenever you want to emphasize your individuality.
In a hot climate, its richness may feel particularly intense, so it is best to start with a small amount.
The sillage is described as very strong, and this is one of the perfume’s main features.
The fragrance can linger in the air and on clothing for a long time, so it calls for careful dosing.
Precise recommendations for the number of sprays on skin and clothing are not provided in the database; ideally, test Obsession of Oud on your own skin and gradually find a comfortable level of intensity.
The perfumer is not specified in the available information, but the overall style of the release is easy to discern: this is a rich oriental fragrance with a woody-gourmand mood and a pronounced mineral-smoky facet.
It will appeal to fans of striking, dense and unapologetically bold perfumes that unfold gradually and noticeably transform the atmosphere around the wearer.

A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The top notes open with a contrasting combination of cotton candy, fig, honey and tobacco.
The opening is rich, smooth and slightly syrupy, while the fruity gourmand facet gradually blends with a warm tobacco depth.
Rose and grey amber emerge at the heart, adding floral expressiveness, roundness and a subtle animalic nuance to the composition.
Cedar, oud and smoke unfold in the base, creating a dense woody foundation, emphasizing the fragrance’s oriental character and sustaining its exceptionally powerful sillage.
