Rogue Perfumery A'Oud Ancienne is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022. A'Oud Ancienne opens with Oud and Cypress, settles into a heart of Amyris, Castoreum, and Labdanum, and dries down to a base of Oakmoss, Ylang-Ylang, and Almond. Rogue Perfumery's A'Oud Ancienne carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a proper challenge. A'Oud Ancienne is a divisive, full-on barnyard oud that isn't for the faint of heart, but those who 'get it' find it uniquely sexy and artful. If you're after a clean, westernised oud, steer clear, but if you appreciate unapologetic animalics, this could be your jam.

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.

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Date

Given its strong, animalic oud profile, A'Oud Ancienne is far too assertive for the office or formal events. It's best suited for cooler evenings, perhaps on a date where you want to make a bold, unforgettable statement, or an outdoor casual setting where its rough edges feel more at home.

About

A'Oud Ancienne opens with a blast of potent, earthy oud, backed by the green, resinous snap of cypress. As it settles, a raw, animalic growl from castoreum emerges, melding with the creamy, slightly woody depth of amyris and the warm, balsamic touch of labdanum. The dry-down reveals a powdery almond sweetness, a hint of tropical ylang-ylang, and the damp, earthy anchor of oakmoss, creating a complex, vintage-leaning leather and woody scent with enduring animalic allure.
