Our verdict on Into The Oud: Acquired

This is a bold, divisive take on oud. If you're not usually an oud fan but want an easy entry point, this, ironically, might be your ticket in. But beware, some find the oud too animalic or overwhelmingly masculine.

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its 'extrait' concentration, strong warm spicy and oud accords, and reviewer comments about its intensity, this isn't a casual office scent. It's best suited for dates and formal events, particularly in cooler weather, where its depth can truly shine.

About

Into The Oud opens with a spirited, boozy kick of rum and zesty orange, sharply contrasted by a generous crack of black pepper. As it evolves, a decadent heart of sticky toffee and exotic saffron emerges, wrapped in the fruity-herbal lushness of davana. The base settles into a rich, sweet oud, tempered by warm amber and an earthy hint of oakmoss, creating a complex and enveloping dry down.
