Amouroud Oud After Dark is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Oud After Dark opens with Osmanthus, Carnation, Pepper, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Suede and Plum, and dries down to a base of Ebony, Musk, Amber, and Vanilla. Amouroud's Oud After Dark carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect potent fruit and a rich, dark base, but don't expect actual oud. It's divisive, cloying for some, intoxicating for others - definitely not a blind buy.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong projection and lasting power, this scent is far too dominant for an office setting. However, its rich, dark fruit and tobacco profile makes it ideal for evening dates and formal events, though perhaps a touch heavy for everyday casual wear.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a juicy burst of apricot and plum, spiced delicately with saffron, before descending into a suede-driven heart. The drydown unveils a warm, sweet, and smoky symphony of amber, vanilla, and tobacco, grounded by an ebony presence. It's a dark, fruity journey that promises depth.
