Incense Oud
Incense Oud skips a true top phase and lands directly in the heart: patchouli and atlas cedar form a dry, wood-heavy frame, with rose threaded through to keep it from going purely dark.

The base is the perfume. Olibanum-style incense rises smoky and dry; amber and styrax thicken behind it; castoreum adds a leathery, animalic depth that keeps the resin from going churchy-clean. Musk smooths the seams.
It reads as smoke over dry wood rather than oud in the literal Arabian-attar sense — a still, meditative incense scent with a leathered underside. Long-wearing and close, better suited to cool evenings than warm afternoons.
