Kilian Pearl Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Christian Provenzano. Pearl Oud opens with Pepper and Saffron, and settles into a heart of Rose, Iris, and Ylang-Ylang. Kilian's Pearl Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a oud-led wear.

Kilian Pearl Oud is a divisive beast, a proper love-it-or-hate-it rose-oud that's both challenging and utterly captivating. Some find it a dirty, animalic masterpiece, others a 'cat piss' nightmare. If you dare, you might just uncover its intoxicating, luxurious core.

About

Pearl Oud opens with an immediate jolt of spicy saffron and black pepper, swiftly followed by a rich, jammy rose that's expertly tempered by the powdery elegance of iris and a hint of creamy ylang-ylang. The real character unfurls in the dry down, revealing a deep, complex oud with pronounced leathery and animalic facets, settling into a dark, smoky, and sensual finish. It's a heady journey from start to finish.
