Which Al Majed Oud to try first
43 scents is a lot to choose from. This is a route through the range: by family, by note, by name and by who each scent is listed for.
1. Pick a direction

- Fruity: start with Aris, Black Secret and Dark Extrait.
- Floral: start with Ebaraat Samiya, Layal and Leqaa Al Ahiba.

- Sweet and gourmand: start with Prestige Topaz, Solin and Black Secret.
- Musky and powdery: start with Sahara Rose, Tauleena and Prestige Black.
- Leather and tobacco: start with .
2. Or start from a note
If you already know which notes you like, the notes page lists every note of the range, and 26 notes have a page of their own with all the scents that contain them. The notes that most scents list: musk, rose, patchouli, bergamot, amber, vanilla, jasmine, mandarin, sandalwood, cedarwood.
3. Or start from a name
Many Al Majed Oud names come in lines that share a word, and the lines are an easy way to move around the range. Each link opens the list of all perfumes, filtered by the word:
4. Who is it listed for?
The listings name an audience for most scents: 3 are listed for men, 11 for women and 27 as unisex. On the list of all perfumes you can filter by that. It is a category, not a rule: a scent listed for men is not off limits to anyone else.
5. Seasons
Where the shop gives seasons, it tags 14 scents for spring and summer only and 14 for autumn and winter only. The scent pages show these tags under key facts, attributed to the shop. Treat all of it as a suggestion.
6. Mind the size
Sizes run from 75 ml to 200 ml, so check the size on the page before you compare. Some scents come in a second size; the key facts show it.
7. Closest within Al Majed Oud
Once you have a scent you like, open its page: the section on its closest siblings names the Al Majed Oud scents that share most of its notes and says what is different. The key facts also give a one-line style in this guide's own words.
You cannot smell it first
A note list tells you what a perfume is built from, not how it will smell on your skin. Read the shop's returns policy before you order.
