Afnan Zimaya Oud Is Great Extrait de Parfum 100ml is a richly textured oriental-woody fragrance from Afnan's Zimaya line, launched in 2023. A bold opening of saffron, nutmeg and lavender leads into a deep, smoky heart of agarwood and oud, settling on a warm patchouli and musk base. The extrait concentration gives it long-wearing presence — a dressed-up evening signature in the modern Arabian oud family.

Who it's for
Oud Is Great is genuinely unisex and suits anyone drawn to deep, smoky, spice-and-oud fragrances rather than fresh aquatic or sweet gourmand styles. It is at its best in autumn and winter evenings, ideal for dinners, formal occasions and any context where a fragrance with character and lasting projection is welcome. If you wear Tom Ford Oud Wood, Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Satin Mood, or Mancera Oud Vanille, Oud Is Great sits comfortably alongside them at a far more accessible price.
How to use
- Spray onto clean, moisturised skin from around 15 cm away.
- Apply to pulse points — wrists, neck, behind the ears.
- One or two sprays is plenty; the extrait de parfum concentration projects strongly and lasts well into the next day.
- For a longer scent trail, mist lightly onto a scarf, coat lining or shawl — natural fibres carry oud-based fragrances especially well.
Size: 100ml. Presented in Zimaya's signature heavy-glass ornate flacon with a metal-finish cap.
