About This Perfume

Atkinsons The Other Side of Oud smells like smoky roasted coffee, oud woods, warm spice. It opens with cardamom, ginger and cinnamon, moves into coffee blossom and geranium and settles on Oud, roasted coffee and vanilla absolute. It reads unisex.

It is best in fall and winter and is an evening scent. A good pick for nights out. Released in 2019.

Wearers report that it lasts well into the evening, and projects strongly and fills a room. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.

Is it right for you?

  • Best for: anyone after something woody and sweet for nights out.
  • Sample first if: you prefer quiet scents; it projects.
  • Skip if: you dislike spicy fragrances.

Around $100.
