Comptoir Sud Pacifique Aoud de Nuit is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009. Aoud de Nuit opens with Bergamot and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Virginia Cedarwood, Rose, Iris, and Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Oud, and Patchouli. Comptoir Sud Pacifique's Aoud de Nuit carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This oud-heavy gourmand is a true love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect potent, exotic spice and dark, fruity sweetness. Not for the faint of heart, but those who 'get it' absolutely adore its unique, enigmatic charm.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage mean it can be a bit much for close-quarters office wear, though some reviewers found it acceptable with light application. The dark, sweet, and exotic profile makes it ideal for dates and evening formal events, but less suited for casual daytime or sporty activities.

About

Opens with a potent blast of dark, musty oud, sweetened by a hint of juicy blackcurrant and bright bergamot. The heart reveals a complex tapestry of Virginia cedarwood, warm cardamom, and subtle saffron, interwoven with the delicate romance of rose and iris. As it dries down, a rich gourmand base emerges, featuring sticky caramel, creamy sandalwood, tonka bean, and earthy patchouli, all anchored by a lingering, animalic musk that keeps the oud simmering in the background.
