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 woody-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.

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:
Spring Winter

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and winter pair best.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent woody and amber accords, combined with a strong sillage and longevity, make it too dominant for most office environments. However, these same characteristics, especially its mysterious aura, are perfect for formal events or evening dates where making a statement is desired.

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.
