Madawi

Parfumour’s Interpretation of Arabian Oud Madawi

Madawi is a warm rose and oud scent, and our version keeps that opulence: a saffron and rose opening, an oud heart, and a warm amber base.

The Story Behind the Scent

Arabian Oud, one of the largest Middle Eastern perfume houses, built Madawi around a rich rose and oud, a classic Arabian pairing that feels warm and luxurious.

Our interpretation follows that character. We keep the saffron and rose rich up top, let oud and patchouli darken the middle, and finish on a warm amber, musk and sandalwood base.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

The original is a niche Arabian eau de parfum sold at high pricing. We build ours at a high perfume oil concentration and sell direct, so you get the same character for a fraction of the price.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who loves a warm, opulent rose and oud and wants an Arabian niche style scent without the high price.

Common Questions

How close is it to Arabian Oud Madawi?

It stays close to the rich, smoky rose and oud character of the original. It is our own interpretation rather than a copy, but the impression is very familiar.

How can it cost so much less than Arabian Oud Madawi?

Most of the price of a niche fragrance goes to the brand name, packaging and retail markup rather than the liquid itself. We put our budget into the scent and sell direct, so you get a comparable experience for a fraction of the price.

Is this the same perfume as Arabian Oud Madawi?

No. We do not use the same formula or ingredients. It is an independent interpretation made to evoke the same style at a much lower price.

How long does it last?

You can expect several hours on skin. Spraying onto clothing as well as skin helps it last even longer.

Who is it best for?

It is unisex and is made for evenings and cooler weather.

How should I apply it?

Spray on pulse points such as the wrists, neck and inner elbows. A light spritz on clothing makes it last through the day.
