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

Dupont Oud Oriental opens with an immediate, intense blast of dry, slightly sweet oud that commands attention. While the official notes list only oud, the scent quickly reveals a more complex profile with hints of sweet vanilla, warm honey, and creamy sandalwood tempering the resinous depth. The undertones of rose and pink pepper add a touch of spice and a slightly floral edge, though the oud remains the undeniable star throughout its powerful wear.
