While projecting well, this clean oud is deemed 'work safe' by reviewers, making it suitable for the office. Its sophisticated woody profile and mass appeal elevate its suitability for dates and casual wear, though its depth makes it less ideal for sport.

About

Oud Rising opens with a bright, clean burst of orange blossom and cypress, before settling into a heart of smooth rosewood, warm amber, and a spicy kick of cardamom. The star, oud, is a refined, airy presence, far from medicinal or animalic. As it dries down, a comforting blend of earthy vetiver, soft musk, and sweet tonka bean emerges, creating a sophisticated and enduring aroma that manages to be both deep and fresh.
