Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its 'eternal' longevity and 'strong' sillage, Silver Oud is far too potent for office or sport. It shines brightest in colder weather and is perfectly suited for a confident evening out, making it ideal for dates or formal occasions where its intense character can be appreciated.

About

Silver Oud opens with a dark, earthy blast of cypriol and patchouli, immediately grounding you in a rich, woody landscape. As it develops, the deep, smoky, and distinctly animalic oud takes centre stage, laced with a smooth vanilla that softens its intensity without diluting its character. The dry-down reveals a complex base of amber, leathery birch, and guaiac wood, underscored by a potent castoreum that adds a raw, almost primal warmth. It's a journey through dark woods and smouldering embers, with an undeniable animalic growl.
