Right from the first spray, Madawi is trying to place you in an orchard with those top notes of peach and apple blossom, and it pays off. Then there’s this exotic twist – a heart of pineapple blossom, which I’m pretty keen on.

But it’s when Madawi settles down that I really start to like it. The base notes of musk, wild rose, and patchouli create this deeply seductive yet sophisticated vibe, which is why I wear it to work so often.

For me, what really makes Madawi a top fragrance is that it’s not just giving you the same generic fruit burst as every other top-note fruit fragrance. It’s versatile, slightly masculine while still feeling floral. 

What truly sets Madawi apart is its versatility and unique blend. It’s not just a “fruit bomb”; it’s a sophisticated, complex bouquet that makes me feel confident, alluring, and a tad adventurous. 

If you’re a fun of fruity fragrances and oud, Madawi by Arabian Oud should definitely be on your list.
