The Essence Vault Oud - 177 is an Eau de Parfum. Oud - 177 opens with Pear and Raspberry, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Oud, and Rose, and dries down to a base of Amber and Patchouli. The Essence Vault's Oud - 177 carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

No. 177 recreates Gucci Oud's fruity-rose-oud contrast reasonably well, though the raspberry opening is sweeter and more forward than the original's more balanced juiciness, and the oud itself reads more generic and less resinous.

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

No. 177 draws directly on Gucci Oud's modern, approachable take on the oud genre, opening with a juicy raspberry and pear combination that closely echoes the original's fruity introduction, if a touch sweeter and less refined. The heart brings together rose, orange blossom and oud, and it is here the dupe does its best work, offering a genuinely warm and sensual florai-oud accord even if the oud wood itself is more one-dimensional than Gucci's richer, earthier version. Amber and patchouli round out the base with decent warmth and staying power for the price bracket, though the trail is shorter and less complex than the designer original's enduring mystique. A contemporary, easy-to-wear oud option for evenings and date nights that captures the mood of Gucci Oud without its full depth.
