17 Oud Mosaic

by Claude Dir

Banana Republic 17 Oud Mosaic is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Claude Dir. 17 Oud Mosaic opens with Pepper, Plum, and Cardamom, and settles into a heart of Rose, Labdanum, and Saffron. Banana Republic's 17 Oud Mosaic carries a Statement verdict, a oud-led wear.

This oud-rose is a deeply polarising one. Some call it an affordable niche-quality gem, while others are put off by its challenging scent profile of barnyard oud. Definitely not a blind buy, but if you're into an animalic, dark rose, this might surprise you.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

The strong, animalic oud and rose accords make this scent too bold for most office environments, but it can be a statement piece for formal events or a captivating choice for a date night. Its challenging nature makes it less suitable for casual wear or sport.

About

Imagine a rich tapestry of darkly spiced plum and cardamom, quickly giving way to a prominent rose heart. Labdanum weaves in a resinous depth, while an animalic oud accord takes centre stage, asserting itself with a distinct, almost skanky presence. It dries down to a musky amber, still retaining that potent oud-rose character.
