A divisive oud-wood clone that splits opinion down the middle. Some say it's nuclear, others that it's a skin scent. If you get a strong bottle, it's a classy scent for a steal.

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Crafted Oud opens with an aromatic burst of cypress and cardamom, spiced up by a hint of pink pepper. This quickly deepens into a woody heart where earthy patchouli and cedar meet a powdery iris and a subtle oud. The dry down is a warm embrace of amber and vanilla, grounded by vetiver, sandalwood, and musk. It's a journey from fresh spice to deep, resinous warmth.
