About

Brûlant Oud kicks off with a boozy cognac hit, spiced up by a lively mix of cumin, saffron, nutmeg, and a zesty grapefruit. The heart reveals a surprising floral twist with geranium, balanced by the creamy earthiness of pistachio and patchouli, all wrapped in a distinct animalic warmth and balsamic resins. The drydown settles into a sensual base of sandalwood, dark incense, and alluring skin musk.
