Diptyque Oud Palao is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015. Oud Palao opens with Oud and Rose, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha, Tobacco, Labdanum, and Frankincense, and dries down to a base of Cistus Incanus, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Diptyque's Oud Palao carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

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.

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.
