In an era where even daily essentials carry a touch of luxury, the arrival of the Cool & Cool “Oud Arabian Luxury Facial Tissues (150 Tissues, 2-Ply)” adds a refined twist to something as simple as a tissue box. On the surface it’s just facial tissues—but dig a little deeper and you’ll find a blend of scent, softness and design aimed at elevating everyday comfort. In this blog we explore what makes this product special, how it stands apart, and address the key questions you might have before purchasing.
What Are the Oud Arabian Luxury Facial Tissues?
These tissues are a premium offering from Cool & Cool that combine functional tissue utility with an evocative fragrance and better material quality. According to the product listing, they are described as “luxury scented tissues which provide super absorption and better cleansing more effectively than any regular facial tissues.”
They are packaged as 150 tissues per box, in a 2-ply format (meaning two layers of tissue per sheet) designed for facial use rather than general purpose. They carry a distinctive “oud” (i.e., agarwood) fragrance, which gives the tissues an added dimension of sensory appeal.
Why Consider These Luxury Tissues?
When you compare standard tissues with those labelled “luxury” or “scented,” three main aspects come into focus: material quality, fragrance experience and how the product fits into your lifestyle or home aesthetic.
Material quality & performance: The listing claims “super absorption and better cleansing” compared to regular facial tissues. This suggests the manufacturer has used higher-grade paper, possibly a tighter knit of fibres, more consistent layering, and better finishing. 2-ply design adds thickness and reduces the risk of tearing or feeling “cheap” when you use them.
Fragrance experience: The oud scent is a key differentiator. Unlike plain white tissues with no fragrance, these tissues are part of the “Arabian range,” tapping into Middle Eastern fragrance culture where oud (agarwood) is found in perfumes, incense and luxury décor. The scent subtly elevates the experience of using tissues—from a utilitarian act to one that feels sensorial. For households that pay attention to ambiance, scented tissues can contribute to a more curated environment.
Aesthetic and lifestyle fit: For homes where details matter, even the box of tissues can be part of the décor. A luxurious tissue box that smells of oud, looks refined and feels premium can align with upscale interiors or themed rooms. Especially if you entertain guests or aim to create a consistent “luxury home” experience.
How to Use and Where to Place Them
Because of their luxury positioning, you might want to think differently about how you deploy them in your home. For example, in your living room’s coffee table, in a guest bathroom, or as part of a dinner-table set up when you host. The scent and finish will be more appreciated in spaces where ambiance matters.
When you open the box for the first time, check how the scent presents itself. It may be more prominent on the first few sheets and then gradually fade as the box is used. Store the box away from direct sunlight or strong airflow if you want the fragrance to linger longer.
As for usage, they perform like regular facial tissues—wiping, dabbing, handling runny noses, removing makeup or light cleaning. But the upgraded feel means you may prefer them for more visible or guest-facing scenarios rather than everyday rough use (e.g., cleaning spills).
What to Expect (and Not Expect)
You should expect a tissue that is softer, stronger, and scented. The product description emphasizes “2-ply” which implies two layers of tissue per sheet; this is better than one-ply or cheap tissues in strength. Listings show the product as a “luxury … scented tissues” for “better cleansing”.
On the other hand, you should not expect this to replace specialized hygienic wipes or antibacterial tissues if your aim is heavy cleaning or sanitising. This is still a facial tissue rather than a medical or disinfectant tissue. Also, as fragrances are involved, if you have fragrance sensitivity or allergy you should proceed with caution—the scent may be subtle but is present.
Price, Availability and Value
In the Pakistani market this product has been listed at around PKR Rs. 437 in one store. Another listing showed a price around Rs. 477. While this is higher than budget tissues, the luxury segment means you’re paying for scent, material quality, brand and packaging. Measure whether the incremental cost is worth it for your needs.
Also consider how many boxes you may need. If you use tissues heavily in a large household, you might be buying many boxes; the cost adds up. Use this product where it makes sense (guest rooms, living area) and for everyday use perhaps keep a simpler tissue box.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What does 2-ply mean and why is it important?
2-ply refers to the number of layers of tissue in each sheet. Two layers mean greater thickness, better strength and less risk of tearing when used. Many premium tissues use 2-ply (or more) to deliver better performance than basic one-ply tissues.
Is the oud fragrance strong or subtle?
The listing describes the product as “scented with rich Arabian oud fragrance”. The actual strength may vary depending on how quickly you open the box, how many tissues you draw at once, room ventilation and how your own sense of smell perceives fragrance. If you prefer very mild or fragrance-free tissues, you may want to check a sample first.
Are these tissues suitable for sensitive skin or allergy-prone users?
While the product is still a facial tissue, if you are sensitive to fragrances or have allergies you should exercise caution. The fragrance, material finish and added scent may introduce something new compared to standard tissues. Always check if the box or packaging has any specific mention of being dermatologically tested or hypoallergenic.
How many uses can I expect from one box of 150 tissues?
That depends entirely on your household’s usage. If used by an individual for light facial use, 150 tissues may last a week or two. If used by a family or in a guest room with multiple visitors, it may be used up more quickly. Consider where you place the box and how often you’ll need to replace it.
Can these be used for other purposes (make-up removal, light cleaning)?
Yes, they can be. Facial tissues of better quality (like 2-ply) can handle gentle tasks such as makeup blotting, wiping light spills, cleaning glasses etc. But they aren’t designed or marketed as multi-purpose heavy duty cleaning tissues. Use them where you want a premium feel and scented finish.
Final Thoughts
Purchasing tissues may not be the most glamorous decision you make while shopping, but sometimes it’s the small details that contribute most to the feel of your home. The Oud Arabian Luxury Facial Tissues (150 tissues, 2-ply) by Cool & Cool bring together thoughtful material quality, scent, and presentation into something more refined than a standard tissue box.
For households that value ambiance, guest appeal or simply want to enjoy everyday objects with a luxury twist, this product offers more than just function—there's an experience embedded in each draw from the box. If you’re willing to pay a premium for that subtle upgrade and you place the box where it will be appreciated (rather than tucked away), then it’s a smart move.
On the other hand, if cost per tissue is a major concern, or you prefer fragrance-free/simpler tissue products, you might reserve this premium box for select rooms and opt for basics elsewhere. The key is matching expectation with use-case: treat this as part décor, part utility, and fully part luxury.
In summary, these Oud-scented tissues represent a small but meaningful upgrade in home comfort. They remind us that even the everyday can carry elegance. If you’re looking for tissues that look good, feel good and smell good, this could be the one your guest-facing spaces deserve.
