Nicolaï Parfumeur-Créateur Incense Oud is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2016, created by Patricia de Nicolaï. Incense Oud opens with Artemisia, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha, Cedar, Oud, and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Castoreum, and Incense. Nicolaï Parfumeur-Créateur's Incense Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Beastly bold, complex, and luxurious, but some find it hard to wear, even a bit challenging. Definitely not for the faint of heart or those who prefer something subtle.

Given its beastly projection and longevity, Incense Oud is generally too overwhelming for an office setting. It's better suited for cooler evenings, especially dates or formal events where its luxurious, bold character can shine without dominating the space.

About

Incense Oud kicks off with a sharp, herbal artemisia, quickly diving into a deep, woody heart where dry oud, earthy cypriol, and a hint of rose intertwine with spicy coriander. The base then unfurls with smoky incense, warm amber, and sensual castoreum, creating a profoundly animalic and musky drydown. It's an evolving journey through rich, resinous woods and a distinct, almost wild, character.
