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:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Built on amber, warm spicy and woody - a composition that sits best in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its 'beast mode' projection lasting 24h+ and overt animalic accords, Tango Oud is far too potent for office or casual wear. It's perfectly suited for dates or formal events where its commanding presence can truly shine without overwhelming the setting.

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.

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Tango Oud opens with a spicy, almost funky burst of cardamom, cinnamon, and pink pepper, quickly ushering in a rich, almost edible cumin note. The heart reveals a darkly animalic and deeply resinous oud, intertwined with rugged leather and woody facets that hint at a cocoa-like earthiness. As it settles, creamy vanilla and musky sandalwood emerge, softening the edges but retaining an ambered, leathery depth through to its potent dry down.
