L'Atelier Parfum Burning For Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Alexis Dadier. Burning For Oud opens with Amber, Pink Pepper, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Himalayan Cedar, Oud, Patchouli, and Saffron, and dries down to a base of Papyrus, Ambroxan, Incense, and Rum. L'Atelier Parfum's Burning For Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a bold, dry, and woody oud that's certainly polarising; you'll either love its intensely smoky, mature vibe or find it too harsh and a bit 'barbecue-like'.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

Its moderate sillage and long-lasting nature, coupled with its intense, smoky character, make it less suitable for office or sport. It's much better for formal events or date nights where its mature and classy aura can shine.

About

Burning For Oud opens with a sharp, almost biting hit of pink pepper and ginger, quickly joined by an earthy amber. The heart reveals a robust, dry Himalayan cedar alongside a pronounced oud, deepened by warm saffron and rich patchouli. It settles into a smoky, resinous base of papyrus and incense, with an underlying boozy warmth from rum and a modern edge from ambroxan.
