How to find the perfect Oud scent for yourself at our experience center?

Arrive at Intense Oud Experience Center

Well, this is easy. Visit our experience center at 5875 North Lincoln Avenue, Chicago, IL - 60659. Let us know what kind of scents you like and we'll help you pick some scents.

Use a Scent Blotter

Scent blotters are porous cardboard strips to absorb the perfume and give you an accurate sense about the fragrance. Spray the scents on scent blotter and wait for it to diffuse. Then bring the scent blotter closer to your nose and smell it.

Refining: Try It On Your Wrist of the leaves

After shortlisting some fragrances, next step is to try them on your skin. Take our word for it, perfumes smell different on different people! So, spray a few puffs on your wrist and wait for about 30 seconds, then smell it.

For Best Results
- Try out the fragrances in morning hours, that's when our sense of smell is at peak.
- Test two to three fragrances maximum, at a time. Our brain cannot process scents more than three at a time.
- Wait 30 mins after spraying the perfume on your wrist to let the base notes kick in and then smell again.

I had placed an order with Intense Oud, and although there was an initial delay in shipping, their customer service made up for it completely! After speaking with Sofia, she personally assured me she would take care of it — and she did! The same day, she processed the order, and I received my perfume promptly. The quality of the perfume is excellent, and the fragrance is absolutely top-notch. I also appreciated the handwritten note they included — a rare personal touch in today’s online shopping world. Highly recommend Intense Oud not just for their amazing scents, but also for their sincerity and customer care. Will definitely shop again! 💯

i purchased the Pink Blush. it's a very beautiful fragrance that lives up to the hype. a gourmand that actually smells like what is advertised. the dry down is even better. strawberries and marshmallow. the bottle is absolutely beautiful itself. i use this one everyday and i am very happy with my purchase. this one lasts abt 6 hrs on me and doesn't fade . if you are wondering if u should get this, or the marshmallow blush, get THIS ONE. Its better and the longevity is there. i love Intense Oud, they know what they are doing and the customer service is incredible. they ship your items quickly and never send broken bottles. I'm a forver customer.

I always have such an enjoyable time going to Intense Oud to pick out my next perfume. Their wide selection of great perfumes makes it so difficult just to pick one. April has been very helpful, attentive, and sweet. She makes the process of picking out a perfume go smoothly each time. She asks great questions and provides the right type of perfume that I'm looking to buy. I enjoy coming here!

My first time here and definitely not my last! I can’t believe I didn’t know about this gem of a store after living in this neighborhood for over 10 years! It is a catered experience and the associates allow you to take your time smelling every scent you can think of. The brands of perfumes and oils are authentic so you don’t have to worry about getting scammed. I’ll attach a photo of the scents I left with after getting a generous discount from their spin to win game. My sales associate Aamna was an angel! Don’t hesitate to visit, it was so worth it 😊

At first, my mother and I had trouble finding the location of the shop since it was in a suite but the ladies here were all very helpful and my mother and I eventually found the shop. The shop itself can be a bit small but don't be fooled because there is a plethora of options you can get here! From floral, to smoky; from animalistic, to sweet, and beyond! Shoutout to April for being a very cool, kind, and charismatic saleswoman who helped match my mom and I with the right fragrance every step of the way. NGL I can still smell the aromas from the samples we got there and it's been nearly a week 🤣

Love this scent. It’s youthful but feels like all ages can wear. Last on me for a solid 8 hours and descent projection on first 2. Then would catch whiffs of it through the day. Not as potent as Hawas black but I can see this as a daily scent if you like sweet and spicy.

April was amazing. I described the kind of oud colognes I needed for my mom’s birthday, and she picked out the best one for her and fits her taste perfectly. She was super helpful showing me all the other options too. Amazing experience

Ordered Pink Blush on a Saturday, and received it Tuesday morning. The smell is AMAZING! Everything I wanted and more! I don't even want to give a review, as I don't want it to ever sell out, but have to say it again, it's AMAZING.
