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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its 'beast mode' projection and strong, dark accords, this is not one for the office - it’s too intense. Its luxurious, heady profile makes it perfect for formal events or date nights, especially in cooler weather, where its powerful sillage can be appreciated without overwhelming.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

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

Opulent Oud opens with a bold flourish of warm saffron and spicy cinnamon, quickly ushering in a dominant, robust oud heart. This woody, slightly medicinal oud is softened by a delicate rose, transitioning into a rich, sweet amber and grounding cedar base. It’s a deep, resinous, and subtly metallic oriental experience that lingers for ages.
