Oud Noir

Oud Noir is Oud Attar's most gourmand oil, opening on an unusual pairing of truffle and bergamot that reads more savoury-dark than sweet. Ylang-ylang adds warmth to the top before the heart brings in orchid alongside jasmine and gardenia, a cluster of white florals that keeps the composition from tipping fully into dessert territory. The base is where the name earns its keep: oud sits under a genuine chocolate note, with vanilla rounding the edges. Wearers describe it as heady, sensual and addictive, and several reviewers reach for it as their daily go-to specifically for how it develops over the day rather than sitting static. One noted that ordering the Elixir instead of the oil by mistake meant the scent faded faster than they were used to, which tracks with the oil's longer, closer-to-skin wear. As a rollerball oil, Oud Noir is built to last on skin rather than fill a room, with the house rating it at twelve-plus hours from a small application. It sits at the darker, more nocturnal end of the house's oud range, limited to a numbered run and positioned for evenings rather than daytime wear.
