Oud Wood unisex

Scent story

To me this smells like the first Western love letter to oud, written before anyone knew the rules. Rosewood, cardamom and Chinese pepper open smooth and polished — exotic but tailored, like a perfectly cut bandhgala. The agarwood at the heart is creamy rather than animalic, blended with sandalwood and vetiver until it feels like running your hand over expensive wood. Tonka bean, vanilla and amber dry it down soft and warm, like cashmere against skin. It made oud wearable for an entire generation, and it still is: smooth, sophisticated, and quietly luxurious. Beginner-friendly.
