Happiness Oud

French Avenue Happiness Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023. Happiness Oud opens with Ginger and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Oud, Licorice, and Cedar, and dries down to a base of Musk, Green, and Vanilla. French Avenue's Happiness Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a powdery-led wear.

A divisive dupe that avoids the original's problematic 'amberwoody' drydown, delivering a unique, if perplexing, spicy-green-oud blend. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent that offers good value for those intrigued by its distinct character.

About

Happiness Oud opens with a vibrant, sparkling kick of ginger and bergamot, bright and invigorating. This soon makes way for an unexpected heart where a deep, earthy oud intertwines with the unusual, bittersweet nuance of licorice and the clean, woody scent of cedar. The drydown settles into a soft, green musk, tempered by a creamy vanilla, creating an intriguing contrast to its initial spice.
