Bujairami Imperial Oud Review UK — Is This the Ultimate Oud for Connoisseurs?
If you're searching for a powerful, refined oud fragrance in the UK that delivers luxury performance without the luxury price tag, Bujairami Imperial Oud may be exactly what you’re looking for. As an Extrait de Parfum inspired by the scent DNA of Creed Oud Zarian, it offers exceptional longevity, bold projection, and a smoky oriental-woody signature that feels unapologetically premium.
Available exclusively in the UK through Scent of the Dunes — the official and exclusive UK distributor of Bujairami perfumes — Imperial Oud has quickly become a favourite among serious fragrance collectors seeking depth, character, and performance.
What Does Bujairami Imperial Oud Smell Like?
Bujairami Imperial Oud is a luxury oriental-woody extrait defined by smoke, spice, resin, and refined sweetness. It opens with an immediate burst of warm spices and bright citrus before settling into a rich floral heart and a deep, resinous, oud-infused base.
Fragrance Notes
- Top Notes: Spices, Frankincense, Ginger, Bergamot
- Middle Note: May Rose
- Base Notes: Licorice, Myrrh, Tonka Bean, Sandalwood, Patchouli, Oud
The opening is smoky yet vibrant. Frankincense and ginger create a glowing, almost ceremonial warmth, while bergamot adds lift. As it evolves, May Rose softens the edges, introducing elegance without turning the fragrance floral-dominant. The dry down is where Imperial Oud truly shines: creamy sandalwood, dark licorice, earthy patchouli, and resinous myrrh fuse with oud to create a commanding and long-lasting base.
In simple terms: It smells smoky, woody, slightly sweet, deeply resinous, and unmistakably luxurious.
Imperial Oud vs Creed Oud Zarian — How Close Is It?
Bujairami Imperial Oud is inspired by the scent DNA of Creed Oud Zarian. It captures the same smoky-spicy elegance and resinous depth that fans appreciate, but presents it in a more accessible and high-performance extrait concentration.
For those who love the refined Middle Eastern-luxury aesthetic of Oud Zarian but want stronger projection and longer wear at £49.99, Imperial Oud delivers a compelling alternative.
Importantly, you can purchase it confidently from the largest collection of authentic Bujairami perfumes in the UK, direct from the official UK distributor.
Performance — Longevity, Sillage & Projection
As an Extrait de Parfum, Imperial Oud is formulated for strength and endurance.
| Metric | Performance |
|---|---|
| Longevity | 8–10 hours (Scent of the Dunes rating), often 10–12+ hours reported |

Many reviewers describe its performance as “beast mode.” It clings to fabric and projects confidently in colder air, making it ideal for evenings and formal occasions.
