Oudh Shams attar is a Flora Five original — "Shams" is Arabic for the sun, and the oil is built like a long desert day: citrus, ripe peach and lemon blaze through the opening and refuse to quit in the heart, before the light finally sets into agarwood, honey, tobacco and patchouli, lasting roughly 12–16 hours on skin.

Like every Flora Five oil, Oudh Shams is 100% alcohol-free and halal — a concentrated perfume you wear from a roll-on, not a spray. Glide it over pulse points (wrists, either side of the neck, behind the ears) and give it a few minutes; your body heat is what unfolds the honeyed oud base. Keep it off white fabric, as perfume oils can leave a mark.
Available as a roll-on in 3 ml, 6 ml and 12 ml. Free shipping across India · Cash on delivery · 7-day return.
Frequently asked questions
What does Oudh Shams smell like?
Sunlit fruit over dark wood. The first hours are juicy citrus, peach and lemon — unusually bright for an oud — and that brightness carries well into the heart. The drydown is where the name pays off: smooth agarwood sweetened with honey, shaded by tobacco and earthy patchouli.
How long does it last?
Expect roughly 12–16 hours on skin. The citrus-peach top is loudest for the first two to three hours, then the honeyed oud base stays close and warm well into the next day. On cuffs and collars it can linger even longer, so apply to skin if you want it gone by morning.
Is it alcohol-free and halal?
Yes. Oudh Shams is a pure perfume oil with no alcohol anywhere in the formula, which makes it suitable for namaz and for anyone who avoids alcohol-based sprays. The oil format is also kinder to skin — it won't sting or dry it out the way sprays sometimes do.
Is this a good first oud?
It's one of the friendlier doors into oud. The fruity opening does the introductions, and the agarwood arrives already softened by honey rather than as a raw, medicinal note. If traditional ouds feel intimidating, Oudh Shams gives you the depth without the shock.
