Louis Vuitton Pur Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud. Pur Oud opens with Oud, settles into a heart of Spicy, Leather, and Rose, and dries down to a base of Musk and Amber. Louis Vuitton's Pur Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a oud-led wear.

Louis Vuitton Pur Oud is an olfactory journey that polarises like few others. It's a challenging, unapologetically raw oud for those who understand and appreciate the animalic nuances of the note, not for the faint-hearted or those seeking mass appeal. Be warned: it's love it or gag.

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Formal

Given its extreme sillage and intensely animalic opening, Pur Oud is completely unsuitable for office or casual daytime wear where it's likely to offend. While it might suit a very specific type of formal evening event, its polarizing nature makes it a risky choice even for dates, unless your companion shares your love for unapologetic oud.

About

Pur Oud opens with a fierce, untamed assault of raw, animalic oud, evoking barnyards and ancient forests. This intense, almost-fecal earthiness gradually mellows, revealing deeper woody facets and a subtle musky warmth that clings to the skin. It's less a fragrance with distinct stages and more a pure, evolving expression of oud, eventually achieving a creamy, refined woodiness that hints at subtle amber.
