Rosendo Mateu Olfactive Expressions Fresh Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Rosendo Mateu. Fresh Oud opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, Cardamom, and Cinnamon, settles into a heart of Oud, Rose, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Leather, Amber, and Cedar. Rosendo Mateu Olfactive Expressions's Fresh Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Divisive, challenging, but ultimately rewarding: this 'Fresh Oud' is anything but a clean crowd-pleaser. Prepare for a rugged, animalic experience that dries down to something surprisingly sophisticated.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its bold and animalic character, coupled with moderate performance, makes it unsuitable for the office but intriguing for date nights. While not a casual 'grab and go', its unique profile could work for a statement-making formal event.

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.

About

This opens with a blast of bright bergamot and grapefruit, quickly spiced up by cardamom and cinnamon. The heart introduces a bold oud note, softened by rose and iris, before settling into a rich base of leathery cashmere wood, amber, and vanilla. It's an oriental-floral composition that offers a journey from sharp zest to deep, animalic warmth.
