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 a Statement verdict, a woody-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.

Scent Profile

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

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.
