Lancôme L’Autre Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Christophe Raynaud. L’Autre Oud opens with Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha, Saffron, Labdanum, and Clary Sage, settles into a heart of Amyris, and dries down to a base of Balsam, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Guaiac Wood. Lancôme's L’Autre Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a proper grower, a refined oud and rose that isn't for dabblers. It takes some getting used to the strong, almost medicinal opening, but trust us, the payoff is a beautiful, expensive-smelling dry down. Not a blind buy, but definitely a masterpiece for the oud-curious.

About

L'Autre Oud opens with an assertive, almost leathery blend of labdanum, cypriol oil, and saffron, giving it an intriguing, slightly clinical edge. This quickly mellows into a rich heart where a dark, spicy rose emerges, perfectly balanced against the smoky, woody backdrop of oud and guaiac wood. The base settles into a deeply balsamic and earthy accord, with myrrh, patchouli, and oakmoss adding a luxurious, comforting depth that lingers for hours.
