Horace Oud Rose is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024. Oud Rose opens with Geranium, Blackcurrant, and Rosemary, settles into a heart of Patchouli and Rose, and dries down to a base of Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha, Sandalwood, and Oud. Horace's Oud Rose carries an Acquired verdict, a rose-led wear.

This is a seriously confident rose and oud that delivers far beyond its price point. While some sniff a hint of medicinal oud, the consensus is a dark, rich, and undeniably masculine take on a classic combo with decent staying power.

About

Opening with a fresh-spicy kick of blackcurrant and rosemary, soon a deep, dark rose emerges, entwined with earthy patchouli. As it settles, a smoky, resinous oud takes centre stage, softened by creamy sandalwood and the slightly leathery, woody depth of cypriol. This isn't your grandma's rose; it's a brooding, sophisticated take on a classic.
