Le Labo Oud 27 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Vincent Schaller. Oud 27 settles into a heart of Cedar, Oud, and Patchouli. Le Labo's Oud 27 carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Like it or loathe it, Le Labo's Oud 27 is a truly divisive scent. It's a bold, unapologetic plunge into animalic musks and dirty oud, sparking strong opinions and making it utterly unforgettable. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but those who 'get' it absolutely adore its challenging complexity.

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.

About

Oud 27 revels in its musky, animalic core, driven by a raw civet note that immediately commands attention. This is layered over a rich, resinous amber and the deep, woody earthiness of oud and patchouli. Aldehydes provide an unexpected clean-dirty contrast, while powdery nuances soften some of the wilder edges, evolving into a dry, rugged woody musk that lingers for hours.
