By the editors · 2 min readBergamot slices through the opening with a cool, metallic citrus edge that immediately frames the oud. The heart keeps the citrus alive while orange adds rounded sweetness, preventing the oud from turning too medicinal. Cedarwood enters early, its dry pencil-shaving texture knitting the bright top to the darker wood below and lending a sheer, clean backbone. As the citrus retreats, the oud warms, releasing a soft, leathery resin that stays close to skin rather than billowing. Projection remains polite—an arm-length aura—making it office-safe yet quietly distinctive through a full workday. Cool fall and spring days suit it best, when its smoky-citrus balance feels neither too crisp nor too heavy.
