Aoud unisex

Scent story

Imagine the sharp spark of lemon squeezed over dark woods — then rose petals laid across warm leather, the air turning resinous and sweet with saffron and ambergris as hours pass. Aoud is grand and unhurried, like walking into a carpeted, wood-panelled room where oud smoke has soaked into the walls over decades. In Indian heat this is strictly a winter or late-night fragrance; one spray is plenty, and on a cool December evening it carries beautifully. Not for beginners — oud-averse noses should sample first, but those who love deep woody orientals will find it magnificent.
