About Oud Damascena
Oud Damascena by Katana Parfums: A Smoky Rose-Oud Blend
Katana Parfums introduces Oud Damascena, a unisex fragrance from the Oriental Floral olfactory family, launched in 2021. It pairs Damask rose with oud, wrapped in a smoky, animalic haze.
Created by perfumer Alp Veliogullari, the composition plays on contrasts: the freshness of yuzu and May rose gives way to deep notes of oud wood, smoke, and ambergris.
The opening of Oud Damascena is bright and slightly citrusy thanks to the yuzu, but the roses soon take center stage. Damask rose and May rose bring a lush floral character, while a darker undercurrent is already at play.
In the heart, the fragrance grows more complex. Oud wood, smoke, and animalic notes blend with Damask rose and ambergris, creating a sensual, deep texture. This is where the scent shows its most intense and mysterious side.
The base notes emphasize smoke and woods, with a persistent presence of rose and Damask rose. The result is a woody, smoky trail with a floral touch that lasts for hours on the skin.
Key accords include animalic, oud, smoky, rose, woody, amber, musky, citrus, floral, and fresh spicy nuances. This mix makes the fragrance versatile yet decidedly powerful.
User ratings for Oud Damascena average 3.7 out of 5, based on 40 reviews. It's a divisive scent: some admire its complexity, others find it too animalic or heavy.
This fragrance is for those who love contrasts: fans of dark roses, oud, and smoky textures. It's ideal for special evenings or for anyone seeking a bold, provocative signature scent.
Oud Damascena is an audacious take on the oriental floral genre. It's not a shy perfume but a statement, rewarding those who embrace its deep and mysterious character.

Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
The beginning is devastating, and not in the good sense of the word. Really vinegary, strong, almost unbearable, although curiously after a few hours it becomes pleasant, but it’s not worth putting up with 2 hours for that.
