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.

Its deep, warm, and somewhat challenging profile makes it less suitable for the office or sport. The luxurious and mysterious vibe, however, is perfect for evening wear, whether a date or a formal event. Community reviews highlight its richness, making it ideal for cooler evenings.

About

Oud Précieux opens with an unusual blend of immortelle's syrupy, hay-like sweetness and the earthy, slightly camphorous bite of cypriol. This leads into a heart of rich, worn leather softened by a drizzle of honey and the smoky, warm undertones of guaiac wood. The base deepens with a non-animalic oud, rounded out by dry tobacco for an intriguing, complex finish.
