Laboratorio Olfattivo ExpLOud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Pierre-Constantin Guéros. ExpLOud opens with Pepper, Pink Pepper, Nutmeg, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha, Magnolia, Lily Of The Valley, and Gardenia, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vetiver, Oud, and Patchouli. Laboratorio Olfattivo's ExpLOud carries an Acquired verdict, a oud-led wear.

ExpLOud is a polarising beast. Some rave about its sophisticated, ever-evolving oud journey, others find it overwhelmingly spicy or just a bit... bland. If you can handle a proper oud, this might be your jam - but sample first.

Given its strong longevity and potent sillage-one reviewer calls it an "oud bomb" and "crazy strong"-ExpLOud is best reserved for formal occasions and dates. It's too commanding for office wear and completely inappropriate for sport.

About

Exploud explodes with a fiery mix of black and pink pepper, nutmeg, and coriander, alongside a smoky frankincense. It transitions into a surprisingly fresh and watery heart of lily of the valley and gardenia, balanced by the earthy depth of cypriol. The dry down is an "oud bomb", a rich tapestry of woody oud grounded by vetiver, patchouli, ambergris, and ambroxan, creating a resinous, creamy, and sometimes animalic finish.
