The Oud by Santi Burgas is a perfume of OUD, so, with a capital O, because that’s all there is, nothing more or less. It’s not an unpleasant oud, but it’s the dirty, slightly animalic type; the quality of the oud is excellent, surely coming from the Carbonell factory. I was more surprised by Gao with this style of bare-wood oud without many adornments because it’s a perfume that can be worn perfectly in the heat, and this one doesn’t. The price of 295€/100ml is ‘not expensive’ in quotes, considering we’re talking about a niche-quality oud perfume, in my opinion of course, but I miss a bit more distinction like Al-Khatt or Hayat, or versatility like Gao. I mean, blindfolded, I wouldn’t go for it, but it’s recommended to try it if you’re an oud lover. Rating: 7.5/10.
This is one of the true fathers of oud; I stand up in awe of this creation by Carbonell. Instantly upon smelling it, a ranch boss came to mind, owner of a ranch arriving in his pickup truck with two girls on either side, getting out in his leather boots, kicking up dust as he walks, his hat covering his face, and with every step you feel terror. The truth is, it’s an incredible perfume with apocalyptic longevity, quite complex, though not an unpleasant oud; it feels animalic and a bit dirty. If you’re brave enough to buy a bottle, let me tell you that unless you’re a crazy person, you’ll never finish the bottle; you’ll have enough to leave for your descendants.
Oud is a material that sparks a lot of interest and diverse opinions. I don’t understand how many enthusiasts can hold certain views that sometimes can’t be understood beyond pure snobbery. I agree with those who say that to appreciate it, you need some ‘experience’ in the sense of smelling various types of oud and compositions featuring the note. It can be said that in most cases, or at least in the Western world, it’s an acquired taste, and for those who like it, it’s very interesting or even addictive. After testing several pure oud oils from different regions and considering some creations with a marked oud note as the best I’ve ever smelled, I can say that this perfume seems simply unusable to me, to the point of being completely unpleasant. A very pronounced fecal smell that I had never detected to that extent before. We’re not talking about the pleasant and elegant barn aroma (I always think of the nonsense of these words, but that’s how it is) of some Indian ouds. No, this is something truly invasive, totally excessive, and capable of filling a room with an aroma practically impossible to withstand with a single spray. Cheers!
Oud divides opinions and can sometimes feel like snobbery. I admit it takes experience to appreciate it; it’s an acquired and addictive taste for those who enjoy it. I’ve tried many pure oils and creations, and this smells like shit, totally unpleasant. It’s not the elegant barn scent of some Indian ouds, but something invasive and excessive that fills the room with an unbearable odor from just one spray.
If you don’t think of the stable, it’s an amazing fragrance. But if you think of the stable throughout the various stages of the perfume, it’s even nauseating. A young poet mentioned below that this scent has apocalyptic longevity, and yes, it does. It fills rooms with a single spray. Winter, summer, autumn, spring, day and night, very versatile (if you don’t think of the stable). High-quality oud! For the first few minutes, it reminded me of the smell of tequila barrels. This would be my apocalypse perfume. Very interesting.
It’s an intense, rustic oud with animalic nuances and a slightly fecal opening that softens over time to reveal spicy notes. I appreciate it for being different from typical ouds with rose combinations. It sits at the bold end of the spectrum, evoking wood and the countryside, reminiscent of authentic fermented Laotian oud oil. While it won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, for special occasions or even personal intimacy, it’s a distinctive choice. In the end, perfumes are for the wearer, and if you have the guts and elegance for this one, it’s yours.
I love it; I can’t explain what I feel when I smell it. It brings back memories of my childhood in the countryside, in the stables with the animals, and above all, of my dad. I really like this scent and hope to get the full bottle soon because I’d wear this until I die. I don’t know if I’d use it beyond my personal enjoyment, but it’s something that has to be in my collection.
A day passed and I bought it, definitely the most exquisite oud I’ve tried, worth it for $210, perfect for layering, boosting other perfumes, appreciating it on its own, and having it as a reference to know oud, a masterpiece.
Brutal, potent sufyi oud, groundbreaking, reinforced by cypriol. Total for getting activated and receiving an energy shot. Everyone I’ve made smell it has the look of having the seven plagues. To wear it in society, you need balls.
I agree with JPC: Oud by Santi Burgas is frankly disgusting and only explainable by snobbery. Debating whether a fragrance should be pleasant when it smells like fermented raw meat and excrement makes no sense; it shows we’ve become so refined that we accept anything if they tell us it’s good and expensive. I don’t understand how he dared to create such a nauseating perfume for originality’s sake. As the saying goes, some tastes deserve a beating.
When you seek oud for pleasure, it becomes an addiction, because you only aspire to smell the most animalistic possible. Here lies such a perfume. Not even The Night by Frederic Malle comes close (it’s oud + rose, animal but subtle). Even Risk by Azman falls short (and that one has 7 ouds). Oud for Burgas is an artistic piece: it doesn’t seek to please, to be the most animalistic possible. It achieves it. Opens to a stable, that’s how easy. Smells like leather, skin, animal. After half an hour, that tone drops and it becomes woody, formal, and elegant. I also did an accidental layering with OIKB from the same brand and it accompanied the iris very well. I deduced it helps give other perfumes a subtle oud note. Is it uncomfortable? Yes. I didn’t tolerate it the first time, but I kept searching and realized I’d never want to try anything similar again. So I went back and got it as a trophy from my journey into the most challenging oud. Do I use it? Very little, only personally, when I’m alone and occasionally in moments where I need a fragrance that terrifies me and gives me that security that only earth and the material provide. If you have an office/study, this scent will accompany you without bothering, like a guilty pleasure.
I tested this on a test strip and it repulsed me instantly. I’ve heard of and owned fragrances with oud, but this is bizarre. It reminds me of the King and his invisible suit story, except here the snobs claim it smells like quality and refinement, even though it literally smells like vomit to you. You wear it proudly thinking someone will find it exquisite and unique, until a kid tells his mom, ‘Mom, that guy smells like cat poop’.
I tested it on a blotter and it repulsed me, literally. I’ve smelled oud before, but this is bizarre. It reminds me of the invisible suit story: snobs selling quality and exquisiteness even though it smells like vomit to you. You put it on proudly thinking someone will find it unique, until a kid tells his mother: ‘Mom, that guy smells like cat poop’.
I’m used to ‘fecal’ Ouds, ‘stable’ ones, or those that smell like ‘blue cheese.’ So for me, this Burgas isn’t a challenge; rather, I can see, or rather, smell through that hard, initially impenetrable opening to feel its heart and base notes. Returning to its opening, this Oud hits the three mentioned nuances, giving us a brown shock in its presentation. If you aren’t used to Oud or those who have tried it don’t show up with such rawness as this (Oud for Greatness, Ombre Nomade, Oud Wood…), it will likely seem a highly unpleasant and practically unwearable fragrance. For those already accustomed, what you’ll notice aside from that initial aggression is a very woody base (logical, of course) well-loaded with cypriol and guaiac, providing a humid and earthy aroma, slightly sweetened -very slightly- by this timeless warmth of cloves, which don’t claim their space with force but timidly contribute to keeping the composition from going off the rails, so after the initial whiplash, we get a caress. The nasal assault drops significantly after 15-30 minutes, and although it will be noticeable, it will do so in a more formal and composed way. Notable longevity and moderate projection. Good Oud.
It’s like being in a stable at a trade show. Only for traumatized freaks who love scatology. I look at the ‘perfumer’ who has his name on it and imagine he’s playing at being what he’s not. It’s like those who boast about being niche perfumers but the result is trash, and the freaks in this world try to find the artistic side. It’s a resounding NO.
It’s like being in a fairground stable. Only for traumatized freaks who love scatology. I look at the ‘perfumer’ wearing their name and imagine they’re playing at being something they’re not. It’s like those who brag about being niche, but the result is garbage, while the freaks in this world try to find an artistic side to it. It’s a resounding NO.
@nanox7 Respect your review, if it can even be called that. I’d say you probably don’t understand the perfume, or simply you’re not used to the oud note in perfumery. In the Eastern world, it’s been used for centuries, and Western society struggles to understand these fragrances that stray from the mainstream. For me and most perfume lovers, both artistic and Oriental, this perfume is a true work of art that must be learned to appreciate, and it takes time to do so. When people spray these oud perfumes, they only get the opening, and you have to know that the accord of this agarwood has an incredible evolution, ending up with spectacular woody, citrus, and floral nuances, depending on the type of oud and its maturation. I understand people might not like oud, but I definitely encourage you to give it a chance and try it. If you love perfumery, you’ll surely end up loving Burgas Ouds, a beautiful scent that will delight any lover of this note.

A masterpiece, that’s how simple it is.
A masterpiece of simplicity.
@Nanox7, unlike my politically correct friend @jordiPA, I don’t respect your review. Reviews are meant to critique, not to be a spiteful idiot. I don’t like Oud for Burgas, but not because it’s bad; it’s just that I can’t stand Oud. I can assure you, in a single bottle, it has more quality than any collection you could own at home, and I say this with knowledge. But of course, your vote counts the same as anyone else’s. The problem is that someone with zero clue about perfumes believes something just because they heard ‘200’ and have 50 bottles at home. Do yourself a favor and before continuing to criticize as if you know, go smell raw materials and learn to decipher what you’re smelling.
@Nanox7, unlike @jordiPA who played it politically correct, I don’t respect your review. Reviews are for criticism, not for being a spiteful idiot. I don’t like Burgas’ oud, but not because I can’t handle oud; this perfume is just bad. I guarantee it has more quality in one bottle than your entire collection. Your vote is worth the same as someone who smells 200 things and thinks they know perfumes just because they own 50 at home. Do yourself a favor: before criticizing as if you know, go smell raw materials and learn to decipher what you’re smelling.
