Oud Orchid

Oud Orchid opens with an intoxicating citrus-white floral burst - jasmine and gardenia paired with blackcurrant, lemon, bergamot, mandarin and a touch of tuberose. This is an unusually crowded top accord for the house, giving a radiant, layered first impression that reads elegant and alluring rather than sharply citrus. At the heart, the composition turns genuinely exotic: orchid blooms alongside spicy and fruity facets and delicate lotus, adding floral depth and a touch of sensuality that bridges the bright opening and the rich base to come. The drydown is where Oud Orchid earns its name and its 'Statement' character - patchouli, sandalwood and incense build a smoky, woody oud-adjacent depth, while amber, chocolate and vanilla add warmth, sweetness and an indulgent, almost gourmand richness. The combination of smoky incense with creamy chocolate-vanilla is distinctive and gives real longevity and trail. Despite the name referencing oud, there is no oud note explicitly listed in the pyramid - the 'oud' character here comes from the incense-patchouli-sandalwood combination reading as oud-adjacent rather than a literal agarwood note, a common device in budget Arabian perfumery. Overall this is a rich, long-lasting oriental floral-woody composition well suited to evening wear and cooler months, appealing to fans of both floral oud and warm amber-chocolate gourmands.
