Louis Cardin Original Oud Noir is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026. Original Oud Noir opens with Nutmeg and Saffron, settles into a heart of Oud, Lavender, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Cashmeran. Louis Cardin's Original Oud Noir carries a Statement verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

This isn't just another oud; it's a bold, enigmatic statement for those who appreciate proper grown-up fragrances with a dark, sophisticated edge. Divisive for some, but a compelling choice for the confident.

About

Original Oud Noir opens with a powerful, almost medicinal hit of saffron and nutmeg, a spicy warmth that quickly gives way to the star of the show: a deep, resinous oud. Incense adds a smoky, mysterious church-like aura, softened slightly by a dry, mature lavender. As it settles, an earthy warmth emerges from patchouli and oakmoss, grounded by the smooth, woody comfort of cashmeran. It's a journey from sharp spice to profound, ancient woods.
