Oud Rosewood
François Demachy weaves Oud Rosewood around a central pairing: the dark, resinous depth of agarwood against the lighter, fruitier character of palisander rosewood — a jacquard, as Dior's own description has it.

By the editors · 2 min readFrançois Demachy weaves Oud Rosewood around a central pairing: the dark, resinous depth of agarwood against the lighter, fruitier character of palisander rosewood — a jacquard, as Dior's own description has it. Raspberry and quince open with a fruity-sweet brightness that doesn't announce the wood to come; both notes share a jammy quality that reads warm rather than sharp. Sandalwood in the heart sits against an animalic note, providing a rich, slightly musky-earthy midpoint before the composition's real architecture arrives. The dry-down belongs to oud and palisander rosewood together — the agarwood's smoke and resin layered against rosewood's warmer, rosy-wood quality. A contained, precise wood study.
