Scent Dossier

Atkinsons The Other Side of Oud is a woody unisex fragrance built around warm spice, oud, and dark coffee. It starts rich and noticeable, then settles into a deeper, slightly smoky character that feels more evening than daytime. Best in Fall and Winter, it suits dinners, nights out, and formal plans where you want something with presence. If you enjoy dry woods and roasted warmth over bright freshness, this is a strong pick.

A Scent For

This fits someone who wants a fragrance with weight, warmth, and a definite point of view. It suits a wearer who enjoys dry woods, spice, and the slightly bitter edge of coffee more than sweet amber or bright citrus. Many wearers describe it as a confident nighttime scent. Not the best choice if you want something soft, office-safe, or easy to wear in every situation, because it carries a stronger personality.

When and Where

Cool weather is where this really makes sense, especially Fall and Winter nights. It feels right for dinner dates, evening events, and formal settings where a darker woody scent can settle in naturally. With solid longevity and noticeable but not overwhelming trail, it has presence without turning into a room-filler. Less convincing for hot days, gym use, or casual daytime errands, and probably too intense for someone chasing a crisp just-showered feel.

Deeper Detail

How it Opens

Expect a warm, spicy rush rather than anything fresh or airy. Cardamom, ginger, and cinnamon give it a dry heat that feels dressed up and a little intense, with no sugary softness to make it playful. There is an immediate sense of depth, and the scent lands firmly in nighttime territory from the start. If you like fragrance that announces itself with confidence, this makes that point quickly.
How it develops

Once the sharper spice eases back, the scent turns darker and fuller on skin. Oud adds a dry, resinous woodiness, while coffee blossom and roasted coffee bring a bitter, toasted effect instead of a creamy café sweetness. Incense deepens the mood with a gently smoky edge. It stays rich, structured, and fairly assertive through the wear, never really becoming casual or breezy, which is exactly why it feels suited to evening use.
History

Released in 2019, The Other Side of Oud sits in Atkinsons' more statement-making side, leaning into a woody, spicy, coffee-laced profile with clear evening appeal. Based on the available details, it is positioned as a unisex scent for shoppers who want something darker and more characterful than standard fresh or clean styles.

Our Verdict
