MIKEL Gunaya Oud is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026. Gunaya Oud opens with Bergamot and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Rose, Saffron, and Apple, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, and Oud. MIKEL's Gunaya Oud carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a bit of a chameleon, but don't get it twisted - the oud base means it's not playing around. Expect something refined, intriguing, and definitely not for the faint of heart.

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:
Spring

Its woody, fruity and aromatic composition leans towards spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

The prominent oud and woody accords, combined with a likely strong projection (typical of oud-focused EDTs), make this too assertive for everyday office wear or casual outings. It shines on dates or formal occasions where its sophisticated and bold character can make a statement without being overwhelming.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

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

Opens with a sharp, juicy burst of bergamot and blackcurrant, instantly grabbing your attention. As it settles, a rich, jammy rose emerges, spiced up with a hint of warm saffron and a crisp apple note adding a touch of unexpected sweetness. The dry down is all about that deep, resinous oud, softened by earthy vetiver and the clean, grounding presence of cedar. It’s a woody, fruity, slightly aromatic journey from start to finish.
