Alexandre.J Golden Oud II is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2026. Golden Oud II opens with Passionfruit, settles into a heart of Rose and Clove, and dries down to a base of Oud, Patchouli, Saffron, and Vanilla. Alexandre.J's Golden Oud II carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

A divisive oud for sure. Some will swoon over its unique fruity-spicy twist, others will find it an absolute scrubber. Not a safe blind buy, but worth sniffing if you're bored of typical oud fragrances.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Golden Oud II opens with a surprisingly juicy burst of passionfruit, a vivid tropical sweetness that quickly meets a dark, velvety rose and the sharp spice of clove. As it evolves, the tropical edge recedes, making way for a robust base of earthy patchouli, warm vanilla, and a resinous benzoin. The oud is present throughout, providing a deep, smoky anchor, expertly balanced by an exotic hint of saffron. It's a rich, complex scent journey from bright and fruity to deep and ambered, definitely one for cooler weather.
