AVAU Exotic Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Caterina Catalani. Exotic Oud opens with Marigold and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha and Oud, and dries down to a base of Leather, Oakmoss, and Fir Resin. AVAU's Exotic Oud carries a Favourite verdict, a leather-led wear.

Don't let the name fool you. 'Exotic Oud' promises a grand, intense experience but delivers a surprisingly gentle and transparent scent, leaving some wondering where the drama went. It's pleasant enough, but lacks the promised punch.

About

Opening with a fleeting burst of fruity blackcurrant and subtle marigold, this fragrance quickly settles into a soft, almost translucent character. A delicate, barely-there oud emerges from a tender leather, underpinned by a clean, earthy nuance. Fir resin and oakmoss add a whisper of green, keeping the overall impression light, clean, and quite minimalist, departing significantly from a typical heavy oud profile.
