Laurent Mazzone Parfums Black Oud is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2012. Black Oud opens with Nutmeg, Cumin, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Laurent Mazzone Parfums's Black Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

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.

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.

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.
