By the editors · 2 min readLemon and cardamom open with a citrus-spice brightness that reads more cologne than oud-souk. Bergamot lifts the accord cleanly before vanilla and praline occupy the heart — a departure from the smoky resins one expects when oud is in the mix. The base oud is muted and calibrated, sitting beneath sandalwood and patchouli in a way that reads Westernized oud-adjacent rather than Arabic oud-forward.
The overall effect is sweet-woody with enough spice to keep it from turning gourmand. A good entry point for someone curious about oud but not ready to commit to something heavy or animalic. Projects moderately and fades to a warm skin-close base.
