Red Aoud
Oud opens with considerable presence — the resinous, slightly smoky character hits first, carrying an animalic undercurrent that keeps the opening dense and complex.

By the editors · 2 min readOud opens with considerable presence — the resinous, slightly smoky character hits first, carrying an animalic undercurrent that keeps the opening dense and complex. There is no soft introduction here.
Saffron and rose emerge at the heart, the saffron adding a sharp metallic-spice warmth while rose stays in the background as a soft floral haze rather than a clear centerpiece. Cumin deepens things further, lending an earthy, skin-close warmth that reads almost carnal in combination with the oud.
Tonka and Mysore sandalwood round the base, smoothing the composition into a creamier finish. This is rich, assertive, and built for cool weather and evening occasions.
