About

Nawab of Oudh opens with a luminous burst of aldehydes, cardamom, and a green citrus zest. The heart unfurls into a soft, velvety rose, gently spiced with pimento and cinnamon, intertwined with the creamy sweetness of magnolia and orchid. The dry down settles into a warm, inviting amber, with subtle vetiver and a hint of a clean, woody accord, providing an elegant and enduring finish.
