Ormonde Jayne Oud Nawaf is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Linda Pilkington. Oud Nawaf opens with Lemon, Rose, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Akigalawood, Sandalwood, Oud, and Guaiac Wood, and dries down to a base of Suede, Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Musk, and Patchouli. Ormonde Jayne's Oud Nawaf carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Oud Nawaf is a simple, woody oud that's proving surprisingly hard to get hold of. It's a clean take on a classic, perfect for those who want oud without the fuss, though some find it a bit underwhelming.

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.

A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:

Its woody and warm spicy accords make it suitable for a date or formal event, offering a refined presence. Despite good longevity, the clean oud profile means it won't be overpowering in an office setting, though it's less suited for casual or sporty wear.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a bright, zesty lemon and a hint of warm, spicy cardamom, quickly leading into a sophisticated heart. Here, the star is a clean, dry oud, supported by creamy sandalwood and the modern, woody nuances of Akigalawood. The base settles into a supple suede and earthy patchouli, with a whisper of animalic musk and the dry, grounding presence of cypriol. It's a woody journey, refined and understated.
