By the editors · 2 min readThe opening bergamot quickly gives way to a bouquet of white florals—gardenia, jasmine, and ylang-ylang—that bloom with surprising softness for a fragrance carrying "oud" in its name. These aren't the shrill, synthetic whites that dominate mall counters, but something rounder and more forgiving, as if tempered by the resins waiting below.
What emerges in the base is not oud at all, but a warm, ambered blend of sandalwood, patchouli, and incense that plays the role convincingly enough. The florals never fully retreat, threading through the woods and amber to keep things from turning too austere. It's pleasant misdirection—a floral oriental that borrows oud's mystique without its polarizing intensity.
Best suited to evening wear when something approachable but exotic is called for. The name promises twenty-four hours; expect a more reasonable six to eight with moderate projection. A gateway fragrance for those curious about Middle Eastern perfumery without wanting to commit to the genre's more challenging offerings.
