Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

About

Oud Khôl is a complex dance between raw and refined. It opens with an almost metallic, soapy aldehydic blast, quickly joined by rich, dark leather and a hint of smoky oud. As it settles, a delicate praline sweetness emerges, softening the edges of the intense moss and leather. This creates a fascinating interplay of clean and dirty, sharp and smooth.
