Oud

by Rodrigo Flores-Roux

John Varvatos Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Rodrigo Flores-Roux. Oud opens with Juniper, Cypress, Sage, and Tobacco, settles into a heart of Osmanthus, Rose, Jasmine, and Pepper, and dries down to a base of Incense. John Varvatos's Oud carries a Favourite verdict, a amber-led wear.

This one is a divisive take on oud. Some say it's a masterful, exotic blend, others find it lacking in true oud character and too fleeting. If you're after a smooth, smoky amber experience with an eastern twist, it might just be your cup of tea.

About

Opens with an aromatic, spicy freshness of juniper and cypress, quickly deepening into a rich, warm heart. Here, a symphony of cinnamon, clove, and cardamom mingle with an unexpected floral whisper of rose and osmanthus. The dry down is a comforting embrace of smoky incense, soft amber, and suggestions of tobacco, creating a smooth, enveloping warmth.
