Mauboussin Cristal Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. Cristal Oud opens with Rose, settles into a heart of Frankincense, and dries down to a base of Oud. Mauboussin's Cristal Oud carries a Favourite verdict, a rose-led wear.

This affordable rose-oud walks a tightrope: some find it a delightful, incense-laced treat, perfect for any occasion. Others call it generic, weak, or even plasticky. Don't go in expecting a beast, but for the price, it might just surprise you.

About

Cristal Oud opens with a prominent, almost sharp rose, swiftly giving way to an oud that's often described as mild or 'western' - less barnyard, more approachable. Frankincense weaves through, adding a churchy, ancient incense vibe. A gentle amber sweetness might emerge, blending with woody and subtly spicy facets for a warm, slightly damp, and resinous dry down.
