By the editors · 2 min readThe opening is brighter than you expect from an oud fragrance—citrus still flashes through, softened by the woody warmth that follows almost immediately. This is oud filtered through an Italian sensibility, restrained and wearable rather than heavy or medicinal. The leather emerges subtly, more like a worn jacket than a tannery, grounding the composition without dominating it.
As it settles, sandalwood and cedar create a dry, elegant base that stays close to the skin. The musk adds softness without sweetness, keeping everything refined and slightly austere. This works best in moderate climates and professional settings—boardrooms, galleries, quiet dinners. It's for someone who wants the idea of oud without the drama, a middle ground between classic Italian cologne and Middle Eastern perfumery that doesn't try too hard to bridge the gap.
