By the editors · 2 min readBois de Oud opens with incense—dry, slightly resinous—before oud and iris emerge in the heart. The iris here reads powdery and cool, providing a counterpoint to oud's characteristic dark, woody-animalic quality. The pairing is unusual: iris-oud compositions balance austerity and depth in ways few accords manage cleanly.
Myrrh, amber, and musk ground the base in warm resin without becoming too sweet or cloying. This is a restrained oud composition—the incense and iris frame the oud rather than letting it dominate freely. Well-suited to cooler months and formal contexts where its quiet intensity is most effective.
