Astrophil & Stella Into The Oud is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Bertrand Duchaufour. Into The Oud opens with Orange, Pepper, and Rum, and settles into a heart of Toffee, Davana, and Saffron. Astrophil & Stella's Into The Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

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.

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.
