Oud is often called “liquid gold” in the fragrance world. Loved for its rich, smoky, and woody depth, it’s a symbol of elegance and luxury. But many fragrance lovers ask the same question: How do I make my oud perfume last longer?

At Oudhshop, we specialise in long-lasting oud perfumes, Arabian attars, and musk blends that already have exceptional staying power. Still, the way you apply, wear, and store your fragrance can make all the difference.

Here’s the ultimate guide to ensuring your oud fragrance lasts all day and night.

1. Hydrate Your Skin First

Fragrance fades faster on dry skin. Apply an unscented lotion or a touch of Vaseline to your pulse points before spraying. This creates a base that helps your long-lasting oud perfume project beautifully for hours.

💎 Looking for a men’s oud with incredible performance? Try Artisan Oud Extrait de Parfum Anfar 1950 or the bold Leather Oud Gold Anfar Extrait Parfum.

2. Apply to the Right Spots

Focus on warm pulse points: wrists, behind the ears, the base of your neck, and even behind your knees. These areas naturally diffuse heat, helping your oud perfume radiate throughout the day.

For women, we recommend the elegant Artisan Oud Noir Extrait de Parfum or the refined Oud Maryam, both designed to last beautifully on skin.

3. Don’t Forget Your Clothes

Did you know perfumes last longer on fabrics? Spritz your scarf, shirt, or jacket lightly for an extended scent trail. Just be careful with delicate fabrics, as concentrated Arabian perfumes can sometimes stain.

If you love a softer touch, explore our musk perfumes like Musk d’Orient Extrait or Musk & Musk—both versatile enough to use on skin and clothing.

4. Never Rub Your Wrists Together

One of the biggest mistakes people make is rubbing their wrists after applying perfume. This breaks down the fragrance molecules, shortening its life. Instead, spray and let your perfume dry naturally.

For a feminine fragrance that doesn’t need reapplication, try Abla Perfume Anfar 1950 or Luna Extrait de Parfum, both beloved for their long-lasting Arabian luxury profiles.

5. Store Your Oud Correctly

Heat, humidity, and sunlight are the enemies of perfume. Keep your oud in a cool, dark place—like a drawer or cupboard—to preserve its intensity and richness for years.

For traditional lovers, our Arabian Perfume Oils (Attars) are the perfect way to enjoy oud in its purest form. Just a drop lasts all day and offers an intimate scent experience.

6. Layer for Extra Longevity

Layering amplifies your fragrance. Use a matching body lotion, musk base, or unscented oil before applying your oud. This gives your scent a stronger foundation and longer projection.

Try layering a strong oud like Oud d’Orient EDP with a musk perfume for a unique, long-lasting combination.
