New Brand Parfums Classic Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. Classic Oud opens with Pear and Raspberry, and settles into a heart of Orange Blossom and Rose. New Brand Parfums's Classic Oud carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This "Oud" is a bit of a misnomer - it's more of a gentle introduction, a sweet and rosy affair that's surprisingly classy for its price. Some rave about its beastmode longevity, others find it too subtle, making it a divisive, but generally well-regarded, cheap gem.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

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

A sweet, fruity opening of pear and raspberry quickly gives way to a gentle, romantic heart of rose and orange blossom. The promised oud is barely there, a whisper of woodiness that adds warmth rather than intensity. It settles into a smooth amber-patchouli base, delivering an overall impression of delicate sophistication with a touch of sweetness. Think elegant floral with a hint of something deeper, rather than a full-on oud experience.
