12 Arabian Winter Perfumes Every Man Needs — Oud Was Made for Cold Weather (Most Under $50)

Your summer cologne is not weak. It is the wrong bottle for December. In cold air, light fragrances barely leave the skin, and they are gone before you take off your coat. There is a family of perfume that was made for the cold. In the Gulf, winter has always been oud season, and the old men knew things about wearing it that nobody at an American department store will ever tell you. Today I go through twelve Arabian winter perfumes, counting down from twelve to one. Most of them cost less than fifty dollars. One smells like a famous dessert from Dubai. One looks like a whiskey decanter. One is the smokiest bottle I know. And the one at number one is the bottle I open every year on the first night I can see my breath in the air. Plus the old Arab way to wear oud in winter, and the three cold-weather mistakes I watched men make at my counter for thirty-eight years. What do you wear when the cold comes?
