Reine de Saba Oud Oriental Saba is a Parfum launched in 2022, created by Bruno Jovanovic. Oud Oriental Saba opens with Currant Blossom, Pepper, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Cedar, Rose, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Cetalox, Dreamwood, Oud, and Labdanum. Reine de Saba's Oud Oriental Saba carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Divisive and pricey, this oud-centric offering from Reine de Saba is a bit of a mixed bag. Some find it a sophisticated rose-oud combo, others an expensive disappointment with synthetic facets and questionable performance. Try before you buy.

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.

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

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

Opening with a unique blackcurrant blossom and saffron, this scent offers a tart, spicy introduction. It then transitions into a heart of woody cedar, warm cinnamon, and a delicate rose, building a rich, complex middle. The base features a deep, animalic oud alongside creamy dreamwood and musky cetalox, grounded by the resinous labdanum for a lasting, opulent finish.
