“This is best best scent ,in the world and if they sold it by the gallon I would buy it.Because every time I wear it people ask me the name of it and we’re to buy it ,I would say that I know I have sold 10 bottles of this stuff but people just love it”

“You know when you’re in the woods and there’s a piece of rotten wood that has a sweet scent to it…? Well that’s what this smells like, not bad but not something I would go and buy for myself. It also reminds me slightly of pledge lemon but just faintly. It has a mint twist with a little bit of sanitized aroma like a Doctors office. I would wear it for a funeral for sure or in a full flight. It reminds me of moth balls but spearmint flavor ones. If I knew what it smelled like I would’ve passed. But if I smelled it on someone else I’d probably wouldn’t mind it.”

“1 star all the way. Im a hugeeee fan of oud and arabian scents. But this one is not cutting it. I was hesitant to buy it, I read a few reviews and people claim it was good. I assure it, its not. Its basically concentrated alcohol with a hint of smoked wood. I own cheap and expensive oud, but this one is nowhere near.”
“First off, Swiss Arabian is a wonderful maker of ORIGINAL oud-based and other Middle Eastern perfumes. If I knew nothing about Interlude Man, or did not already own Ard al Zaafran's Midnight Oud which is the clone for Interlude Man, I'd love Shaghaf Oud Abyad just on its own merit as a stand-alone fragrance, wonderful in its own right. Since I DO already own Midnight Oud and thus have the opportunity to compare, that and Oud Abyad smell identical- and I mean I. Dent. Ical. Maaaybe Midnight Oud has a bit more of the vanilla coming through. Both have that heady herbaceous opening with the oregano top note, which can be challenging for anyone not into niche fragrances. Oud Abyad might have a tad more projection and longevity. Midnight Oud has the beautiful blue bottle, however, with the gold crown on top. It's up to you. If you're into Interlude but don't want to pay $400, you could get either fragrance and no one would be the wiser. If you just like the description of this fragrance, you could do far worse than buying this one.However, if you are looking for one of Swiss Arabian's originals, I absolutely love the other two in this collection- Shaghaf Oud and Shadhaf Oud Aswad. They are standalone knockout fragrances, both different and equally beautiful. Had I known this one was more or less a match for Interlude, I'd have passed on it, but only because I own one of those already.”
