By the editors · 2 min readArmaf Niche - Oud opens with a dry, herbal pairing of caraway seed and sage against bergamot, the citrus adding brightness while the spices give it an old-world aromatic quality. The name promises oud, but what arrives instead is a sharply structured leather-cedar heart framed by iris — cool and slightly powdery, with black pepper keeping things angular. The dry-down settles into amber and vanilla with patchouli grounding the whole composition in warm, resinous weight.
Despite the marketing, confirmed sources find no explicit oud note. What remains is a wearable spiced leather that performs reliably in cool weather, suited to evenings where understated presence is the goal.
