Flora Five's Black Oudh attar is an alcohol-free, oil-based interpretation of the deep rose-on-oud character of Ahmed Al Maghribi Black Oudh. Saffron and black pepper strike first over bright bergamot, a dark rose and labdanum heart follows, and agarwood with musk, amber, sandalwood and leather holds the base for roughly 12–16 hours on skin.

Ahmed Al Maghribi Black Oudh |
How it compares. Our attar keeps the recognisable Black Oudh signature — saffron-dusted dark rose laid over a genuinely deep agarwood-leather base. Because it is a concentrated oil rather than a spray, there is no alcohol blast up top; the scent builds gradually, hugs the skin more intimately, and its base notes persist well past where a spray would fade.
Black Oudh is alcohol-free and halal, which makes it easy to wear through prayers and long days alike. Roll it across your wrists and the sides of your neck and let body heat coax the rose out of the oud — give it ten minutes before judging. Keep it clear of white shirts and pale dupattas; dense oud oils can leave a shadow.

Frequently asked questions
What does Black Oudh smell like?
It opens spicy and slightly medicinal — saffron, black pepper and bergamot over dry spices — then turns dark and romantic as the rose, labdanum and patchouli heart appears. The drydown is the point: dense agarwood, leather and amber with a musky-sandalwood smoothness. Think a dim room, dark wood and one deep red rose.
How long does it last?
This is one of the longest-wearing oils in our line: roughly 12–16 hours on skin, with the oud-amber base often greeting you the next morning. Two modest swipes are enough; it projects strongly for the first six to eight hours and then wears as a rich skin scent.
How is Flora Five's version different from the original Black Oudh?
The original Black Oudh is built to project immediately. Our version is a concentrated attar oil: no alcohol, a gentler opening, a slower reveal of the rose-oud heart, and a longer, closer drydown. You also control the dose swipe by swipe, which suits both daily and prayer wear.
Is this a good first oud?
Yes — with a caveat. The rose and amber round off oud's raw, animalic edge, so it is friendlier than a straight agarwood oil while still being unmistakably an oud. Start with a single swipe on one wrist; if you enjoy the drydown after an hour, you will enjoy the bottle.
