Grande Ancient Oud is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026. Ancient Oud opens with Oud, settles into a heart of Benzoin, and dries down to a base of Musk and Resin. Grande's Ancient Oud carries a Statement verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

This one's a proper challenge. Unless you're already obsessed with proper oud in all its animalic glory, you'll probably find it deeply polarising, maybe even off-putting at first. Definitely not a blind buy for the faint-hearted.

About

Ancient Oud is a full-throttle dive into the animalic depths of oud. It opens with an unmissable blast of raw, intense oud, raw and potent. As it settles, the oud remains dominant, tempered slightly by the rich, resinous warmth of benzoin, which adds a sticky, oriental sweetness. The dry down leaves a lingering trail of musk and additional resin, reinforcing that powerful, woody base. It's truly all about the oud, from start to finish.
