White Oud

Olfactory Experience

White Oud by Fayrouz is clearly aiming for the Roses Musk DNA. It opens with a dominant rose; less jammy and opulent than Montale's, more of a clean, almost soapy rose. The jasmine in the heart is subtle, providing a touch of sweetness. The musk in the base is the defining feature, but this is where the cost-cutting shows. It's a somewhat synthetic musk, lacking the depth and creamy texture of the original. Overall, it achieves about 88% similarity to Roses Musk. The crucial difference lies in the quality of ingredients - this feels thinner and brighter.

The Performance Stats

This is where White Oud surprises. It projects moderately well for the first 2-3 hours, leaving a noticeable scent trail. After that, it settles closer to the skin, but I could still detect it after 6-7 hours. Not bad point. It's definitely not a room filler like the Montale.

Conclusion

White Oud is a decent budget alternative if you're after the Roses Musk vibe. If you absolutely MUST have that ultra-rich, high-quality feel, save up for the Montale. However, if you just want a pleasant, everyday rose-musk fragrance that won't break the bank, this is a solid choice. you get a respectable interpretation. A good grab -conscious.
