Don't let the name fool you into expecting an oud bomb; this isn't it. Amber Oud is a subtle, elegant beast, a masterclass in classic French perfumery with a gentle, almost atmospheric touch of oud. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent for some, especially those expecting a bolder oud.

About

Amber Oud opens with a refined burst of aromatic lavender, sage, and thyme, a herbaceous embrace that gives way to a sophisticated, animalic warmth. The heart slowly reveals a subtle oud, expertly blended into a woody, amber landscape. The dry-down settles into a comforting, musky vanilla and tonka bean, softened by the resinous depth of styrax.
