Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Cartier's Oud & Oud plunges deep into the heart of agarwood, offering a nuanced and evolving experience. It opens with an aggressive, almost bracing sharpness of green wood and dry spices, hinting at a barnyard-like animalic quality that quickly softens. As it develops, a smoother, more refined oud emerges, blending with leathery undertones and a subtle, musky warmth. The dry down reveals a sophisticated, buttery woodiness, with whispers of incense and a faint, sweet powdery amber, maintaining an elegant depth without ever becoming cloying.
