The Other Side of Oud by Atkinsons opens warm and dry, with cardamom, cinnamon and ginger setting the tone before the oud arrives. Agarwood sits at the centre alongside coffee blossom and geranium, giving it a resinous, slightly green heart. The base leans into roasted coffee beans and vanilla, so the finish reads dark and a little sweet rather than purely woody. Perfumers Maurice Roucel and Pierre-Constantin Gueros released it in 2019, and it suits men and women drawn to a spiced oud with real depth. Voters wear it in winter and autumn, mostly in the evening and at night. Most wearers call it long-lasting, and most call its sillage strong in the vote, so a couple of sprays go a long way. A 3ml decant is enough to find out whether that coffee-and-oud combination is for you.

The community verdict
For someone drawn to spice and coffee, The Other Side of Oud opens with cardamom, cinnamon and ginger before oud gives way to roasted coffee beans and vanilla absolute. Most report long wear and strong projection, though some find both moderate. It works best on winter nights; autumn and evenings suit it too.

The house
More from Atkinsons
Atkinsons dates back to 1799, when James Atkinson left Cumberland for London and opened a perfumery there. Today it is a niche house with a playful British streak, most obvious in names like Oud Save The King and Posh on the Green. The scents mix crisp and smoky: bergamot, coriander, geranium and earl grey tea at the top, then oud, frankincense, vetiver and amber below. Begin with Mint & Tonic, then try Born for Eternity and Shine Despite Everything, two of the newest. The Other Side of Oud shows the darker end. Maurice Roucel and Fabrice Pellegrin are among the perfumers credited, and every scent here is unisex.
