Iconic Oud Eau de Parfum 65 ml — El Nabil
Iconic Oud is a 65 ml eau de parfum from the Dubai Collection by El Nabil, in an octagonal gold bottle topped with a cut-glass stopper. The brand brings together a precious oud and the softness of saffron, around a heart of rose, over a woody, musky base. It recommends it to women and men alike.
Fragrance pyramid
- Top notes: bergamot, lemon, saffron
- Heart notes: rose, patchouli, caramel
- Base notes: oud, cedar, musk
How it unfolds
The start combines the liveliness of bergamot and lemon with saffron, which is warmer and slightly leathery. The heart sets up a rose that patchouli darkens and caramel softens. The base then lets the oud take its place, supported by cedar and rounded by musk: this is the part that lingers, woody, deep and soft at once.
Who it is for, and when
For anyone who wants a legible oud, wrapped in rose and caramel, rather than a raw oud. It finds its place in the evening and for occasions; by day or at the office, one or two sprays are enough.
How to use
The brand advises spraying on the pulse points, where body heat helps the fragrance set and diffuse: inner wrists, behind the ears, décolleté, neck or chest. It also cites the joints, which release the fragrance with every movement. Do not rub after application, and avoid the face and delicate fabrics.

Frequently asked questions
Is the oud very present? It asserts itself mainly in the base, surrounded by cedar and musk. Before it, rose, saffron and caramel give a more floral, softer entrance.
Can it be worn in summer? Yes, in a light dose and preferably in the evening. Its warmth mainly suits the cool season.
