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

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.
