Oud Palao

Diptyque Oud Palao is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015. The fragrance settles into a heart of Sandalwood, Oud, Rose, and Patchouli.

Our verdict on Oud Palao: Acquired

Diptyque's Oud Palao is a brutally polarising, beast-mode oud-rose that you'll either adore for its rich, dirty elegance or recoil from its perceived barnyard skank. This is not for the faint-hearted; a true love-it-or-hate-it scent.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its beast-mode projection and longevity, Oud Palao is too intense for an office setting where it could easily overpower. Its dark, luxurious character and sensual depth makes it an excellent choice for formal events or intimate dates.

About

Imagine a dark, decadent rose entwined with a potent, animalic oud, sweetened by a hint of rum and vanilla. A camphorous woody depth is underscored by earthy patchouli and smoky tobacco, creating a complex, almost ancient incense-like aura. This is a scent that doesn't just sit on the skin but melds into it, evolving from a challenging opening to a surprisingly smooth, rich drydown.
