Rue Broca Pride My Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015. Pride My Oud opens with Allspice, Saffron, and Cumin, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Rose, and Violet Leaf, and dries down to a base of Oud. Rue Broca's Pride My Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Seriously divisive, this one. A beast of a performer at a ridiculously low price according to some, while others find it a cloying, syrupy rose bomb. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but if you're into intense, spicy oud, it's a cheap thrill.

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.

About

Opens with a potent blast of warm, dry spice from pimiento and cumin, immediately underscored by a distinct saffron sweetness. The heart blooms into a rich, almost jammy rose, softened by violet leaf, with an earthy patchouli providing depth. The foundation is a deeply resonant, slightly leathery oud, which, combined with the initial sweetness, creates a mature, Oriental warmth that lingers for ages.
