Boucheron Oud de Carthage is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Dominique Ropion and Claire Liégent. Oud de Carthage opens with Honey and Incense, and settles into a heart of Tonka Bean and Labdanum. Boucheron's Oud de Carthage carries an Acquired verdict, an amber-led wear.

A truly luxurious blend, Oud de Carthage is a deep, warm amber-leather fragrance with an elegant touch of sweetness. While the 'oud' often takes a backseat, this Ropion creation delivers niche quality at a designer price point, making it a firm favourite for many, despite some finding it a bit too familiar.

About

Upon first spray, you're wrapped in a sophisticated embrace of sweet honey and the gentle, smoky tendrils of incense. As it evolves, the heart reveals a smooth, balsamic labdanum intertwined with creamy tonka bean, adding a comforting warmth. The base settles into a refined leather, accompanied by a soft, woody oud that's less animalic and more akin to polished timber. It's a rich, seamless evolution reminiscent of a warm, spiced liqueur.
