Louis Cardin Oud Al Abid is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. Oud Al Abid opens with Rose, Cinnamon, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Patchouli and Caramel, and dries down to a base of Ambroxan. Louis Cardin's Oud Al Abid carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one's a proper spicy-sweet Middle Eastern affair. Divisive, for sure - it's got a definite vibe that won't be for everyone, so try before you commit.

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 Al Abid kicks off with a rich, inviting burst of saffron and cinnamon, spiced up with a jammy rose. It then melts into a gooey caramel heart, underpinned by earthy patchouli. The dry-down is all about that creamy ambroxan, adding a modern, smooth finish to the traditional oud-like warmth without being overly heavy. It's warm, sweet, and undeniably bold.
