If you're seeking a dark, smooth, and impressively long-lasting oud, LM Parfums Black Oud hits the mark. It's often compared to Black Afgano but many find this one more refined and wearable, with its animalics subtly weaving into a sophisticated whole. Just don't expect it to scream across the room at retail price.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its moderate projection and generally refined character make it surprisingly suitable for an office environment if applied sparingly. The deep, sensual amber and oud make it ideal for dates and formal events, though it's too rich and heavy for casual daytime wear or sport.

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.

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

Black Oud opens with a dark, spicy introduction of cumin and nutmeg, immediately softened by the rich, resinous warmth of incense. As it develops, a creamy oud emerges, perfectly balanced by a sophisticated blend of sandalwood, cedar, and amber. The drydown reveals a subtle animalic depth from civet and castoreum, rounded by a touch of vanilla, adding a smooth sensuality without ever becoming skanky.
