Oud Blackberry
Fragrance notes
Character
Blackberry arrives first, a dark and slightly tart fruit that avoids the candy-like sweetness found in many fruity releases. Honeysuckle and vanilla follow, adding a soft floral warmth that rounds out the fruit without making the blend heavy. The base introduces Assam oud and Damask rose, which bring an earthy, resinous depth to the composition. Iris adds a powdery texture that sits between the flower petals and the wood. The overall character is fruity and sweet, yet grounded by the oud and the rose. It feels polished and deliberate, sitting closer to a niche presentation than a mass-market one. The white floral accord is present but never overwhelms the darker elements.
Brahim Mohamed composed this 2025 release for MABRA PARFUMS. The violet accord listed among the accords gives a cool edge to the heart, contrasting with the warm vanilla. It suits cooler weather and evening settings where a rich, layered scent is welcome. The sweetness is balanced by the earthy oud and the dry iris, so the fruit never dominates the entire wear. Powdery notes linger alongside the rose, creating a soft finish that feels traditional yet updated. The blend of fruit and oriental florals makes it a distinctive choice for someone who enjoys complexity in a fragrance. The vanilla and honeysuckle keep the rose and oud from feeling too severe, while the blackberry remains a clear presence throughout the structure. The texture is smooth, and the transitions between the notes feel natural rather than forced, with each element finding its own space in the arrangement
