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 Resins. Grande's Ancient Oud carries a Statement verdict, a musk-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.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Given its strong, heavy, and animalic nature, Ancient Oud isn't really suitable for the office or casual wear. It leans more towards formal events or evening dates where making a bold, sophisticated statement is desired, appealing to true oud connoisseurs.

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.
