Perris Monte Carlo Oud Imperial Extrait is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Luca Maffei. Oud Imperial Extrait opens with Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Labdanum, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Perris Monte Carlo's Oud Imperial Extrait carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

This is a truly gigantic oud-forward beast, a powerful woody and smoky blend that commands attention. Not for the faint-hearted, Oud Imperial Extrait is a high-quality, long-lasting scent that some hail as the best oud on the market, while others find it a bit too singular and austere.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

With its exceptional longevity and powerful projection, this extrait is far too overwhelming for office wear. It's best suited for formal evening events or special occasions where its bold, luxurious character can truly shine, though some find it acceptable for dates if applied lightly. Casual wear would be difficult given its intensity.

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.

About

Oud Imperial Extrait opens with a dark, rich blast of cypriol and frankincense, quickly merging into a dense, smoky oud heart. This is softened by warm labdanum and earthy patchouli, with a dry, resinous woody base of cedar, sandalwood, and birch providing immense depth and longevity. It's a journey through an ancient, woody landscape, with hints of dry smoke and a subtly animalic undertone.
