Nicolaï Parfumeur-Créateur Amber Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Patricia de Nicolaï. Amber Oud opens with Lavender, Sage, Thyme, and Artemisia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Nicolaï Parfumeur-Créateur's Amber Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

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.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

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.
