Natura Essencial Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Pierre-Constantin Guéros and Verônica Kato. Essencial Oud opens with Bergamot, Cardamom, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha, Geranium, Cinnamon, and Elemi, and dries down to a base of Balsam. Natura's Essencial Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

This isn't for the faint of heart, it's a divisive 'bomb' of an oud. Those who love it, really love it, praising its powerful, unique scent and impressive staying power. Those who don't, find it overwhelming and cloying. Approach with caution and a light hand.

About

Essencial Oud opens with a vibrant, spicy blend of cardamom, saffron, and bergamot, quickly ushering in a warm, gourmand heart. The rich sweetness of praline and cinnamon mingles with balsamic notes and geranium, all resting on a deep, woody base. The oud here is prominent but not animalic, softened by sandalwood and patchouli, creating a complex and enveloping aroma that lingers for hours.
