Illuminum Black Oud 2026 is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026. Black Oud 2026 settles into a heart of Animalic, Oud, Patchouli, and Clove. Illuminum's Black Oud 2026 carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one is a properly divisive beast. Intense, animalic, and definitely not for the faint-hearted. It’s a love-it-or-hate-it kind of oud, so don't expect to please everyone but you'll certainly be remembered.

About

Black Oud 2026 plunges straight into a deep, dark forest. It's a primal, unyielding blend where the raw, leathery growl of animalic notes is front and centre, entwined with the smoky, resinous depth of true oud. A dark, earthy patchouli underpins it all, while a subtle, almost medicinal clove adds a hint of warm spice, creating a dense and enigmatic aura that speaks of ancient woods and shadowy caverns. Very intense, very distinctive.
