Rose Oud

by Patricia de Nicolaï

Nicolaï Parfumeur-Créateur Rose Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Patricia de Nicolaï. Rose Oud opens with Osmanthus, Raspberry, and Artemisia, and settles into a heart of Rose and Lily Of The Valley. Nicolaï Parfumeur-Créateur's Rose Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a rose-led wear.

This isn't your average rose oud, and it clearly divides the room. Some find it a sophisticated, animalic take on a classic, while others think it's their grandma's musty wardrobe. Don't expect a straightforward rose-oud, this one's got layers.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

The strong, complex, and sometimes 'skanky' nature of Rose Oud makes it unsuitable for professional offices. Its warm, sensuous character is well-suited for dates and formal events, though its vintage feel might limit casual wear for some.

About

Rose Oud opens with a bright, juicy raspberry and osmanthus, quickly giving way to a velvety rose heart, laced with a hint of lily of the valley. The base settles into a complex blend of woody oud, warm amber, and distinct animalic castoreum, with patchouli and vanilla adding depth. It evokes a sense of vintage luxury, balancing fruity sweetness with a 'dirty' undertone.
