Ministry of Oud - Oud Satin

YouTube is full of reviews of this scent - the word out is that this is a ‘beast’ - projects like crazy- lasts forever. It’s not quite like that on my skin. But I t’s a high quality scent - not too heady, with some powdery violet - well balanced with a little oud. Projection is decent and it lasts a few hours for me. The presentation is outstanding. A hefty classy looking bottle with a weighty cap and pleasantly coloured juice. All things considered a solid performer at the price.

I just love the smell and last long on my skin and clothes. Already brought a backup bottle.

Very good quality, fragrance is very strong but doesn't as long as I expected well worth the investment in my opinion.

Gorgeous

Smells good, but longevity and projection are not that great.

I usually don’t purchase cologne perfume in other works inspired by what brands this is the first time I purchase a inspired by a brand perfume I am amazed I will never spend £200-£300 on a perfume again the saint oud is on my list again for my stock I love the perfume small luxury with fraction of the cost

Im shocked by the positive reviews and i bought this because a woman on tiktok described it as fresh clean smell. Its the opposite it smells like a incense and not the subtle type the strong thick smell that starts to smell sickening the longer u wear it. I will agree its very strong and long lasting but the harshness of the smell is hideous and because i opened the pastic they refuse to allow me to return it. Horrible

This is a Beast of a Fragrance as it surpassed all my expectations. A loud projector and lasted easily 13hrs. This is without doubt the best MFK Out Satin Mood inspired!

You get the rose smell at first and it turns to powder 5 minutes after. Totally not worth the purchase.

Exactly like the original

This has become among my most frequently/daily worn fragrances. Although its name includes the word "Oud" (a very unique Middle Eastern woody fragrance), I personally cannot detect Oud, which I like, in the perfume as several others mention. But, that's fine with me as the other notes blend for a heavenly, unique, long lasting, endearing and attractive scent. I adore it! Being an extrait de parfum, it's even more "potent" (more concentration of perfume oil in the juice) than an eau de parfum, and as such, more long lasting throughout the day and into the evening. It's wonderful to find this on Amazon and at such a reasonable price! Middle Eastern scents are becoming more popular as more people are learning about them, especially as they rival Western designer perfumes both in quality of the ingredients used and skill in their creation and elegant containers, and extremely competitive prices as compared to French, Italian and now more niche other Western designer perfumes. Although they are becoming more known, still you will not find yourself smelling like anyone else you encounter. This particular perfume is a very safe "blind buy" as it is very soft overall. Read the notes first to see if they are similar to the ones you enjoy. If you don't know much about these, though, and feel like trying something new and enjoy a soft scent, this might well be a new thing you'll very much enjoy. If, however, it doesn't suit you it would make a lovely present for a friend : ) EDIT: Adding to this review more than a year+ later. Even when you aren’t asked, “Mmmm!! What is your beautiful perfume?” You will notice people feeling more at ease, comfortable and happy to be near you. A lovely, stylish young woman who works at a hospital I often visit ALWAYS compliments my fragrance when I’m wearing Oud Satin. Last week, after not having been in this hospital for a year, I was waiting in a distant office for a consult when this beautiful young woman appeared at the door saying, “There you are!! NO one else wears that wonderful perfume, and I could tell you were here. I just had to find you and say ‘hi!’ “ In addition to being immensely flattered, I realized that this perfume will leave a soft but definite fragrant trail behind you : ). I’ve purchased 2 more bottles in case the price goes up! No maceration needed, it’s immediately and consistently gorgeous.,

Après avoir reçu un échantillon de Satin Mood par MFK j'ai immédiatement été conquis, j'ai cherché une alternative abordable et bien il semble que j'ai trouvé mon Graal. Ce parfum de Ministery of Oud est identique à l'original tant sur les différentes notes que sur la tenue ainsi que le sillage, c'est a dire assez puissant. Je recommande à 100%

I was turned onto this fragrance by several YouTube reviewers and a friend of mine that owns Madison Francis Oud Satin Mood (I’m good on paying $300 plus for a fragrance at the moment) sparked my interest when I was told that this was a clone of the original fragrance. I wasn’t a fan initially as I felt it smelled too feminine but I was impressed by how strong it projected. After allowing it to settle in my shirt and returning to smell it the next day I was convinced that this was one of the most unique and captivating scents that I’ve ever smelled. I’m not sure how Maison Francis’ version smells compared to this but if you’d like to save some cash and are a fan of oud/rosy fragrances this is a great buy for the price and projection. A few of my coworkers smelled it and asked me right away what I was wearing! Godspeed….by the way 3 sprays is more than enough to get the job done!
