Essence No. 4 Oud

Name: Essence No. 4 Oud Eau de Parfum
Brand: Elie Saab
Availability: InStock

Elie Saab Essence No. 4 Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Francis Kurkdjian. Essence No. 4 Oud settles into a heart of Oud, Benzoin, and Pepper. Elie Saab's Essence No. 4 Oud carries a Statement verdict, a oud-led wear.

This one sparks strong opinions. For some, it's a refined, approachable oud that introduces the note with class. For others, it's a harsh, medicinal beast that repels all within five feet. Definitely not a blind buy.

About

Essence No. 4 Oud opens with a distinct, slightly medicinal oud, often compared to vetiver, quickly tempered by a bold pepper kick. As it settles, benzoin sweeps in, lending a balsamic warmth and a subtle, almost leather-like sweetness. It's a clean, dry take on oud, smoky and woody without venturing into barnyard territory, maintaining a sophisticated edge throughout.
