Amouroud Oud du Jour is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Claude Dir. Oud du Jour opens with Pink Pepper, Saffron, and Raspberry, and settles into a heart of Rose, Lily Of The Valley, Incense, and Plum. Amouroud's Oud du Jour carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Don't let the name fool you - this isn't an oud bomb, despite the strong sillage and longevity. It's a classy, sweet-fruity-oud for those who want a crowd-pleasing scent for cooler weather. A true masterpiece for some, a 'Tuscan Leather' clone to others, but one thing is clear: it's not a true oud fragrance.

Best For:
Office Date Casual Formal

Despite its strong sillage and longevity, many users find this wearable in an office setting due to its well-balanced, less aggressive oud profile. Its elegant fruity-sweet character with warm spicy undertones makes it perfect for dates and evening events, while still being appealing for smart casual wear; however, it's far too rich for sport.

About

Oud du Jour kicks off with a vibrant burst of jammy raspberry and piquant pink pepper, spiced elegantly by saffron. This fruity opening smoothly transitions into a heart of rich plum, gentle rose, and a touch of incense, avoiding anything too cloying. The base settles into a soft, woody embrace where a subtle, non-animalic oud peeks through, rather than dominating, leaving a trail of warm amber and dry patchouli.
