Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Best For:

Also Works:
Casual

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage make it suitable for evenings and special occasions where you want to make an impression without overwhelming. The sophisticated, warm vanilla-oud profile is perfect for dates and formal events, though its alluring quality can be toned down for more casual wear. It's too opulent for active sports.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Ode à l'Oudh opens with a dark, rich vanilla that's immediately inviting, not overly sweet but deeply sensuous. As it evolves, a clean, approachable oud emerges, perfectly balanced and never skanky, often complimented by a subtle leathery nuance. A soft, warm saffron weaves through, adding an elegant, spicy complexity that deepens into a long-lasting, utterly addictive dry-down. It's a masterclass in modern gourmand luxury.
