The Gate Fragrances Paris Oud Tonic is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Valérie Garnuch-Mentzel.

The Gate Fragrances Paris's Oud Tonic carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a smooth operator, a crowd-pleaser that manages to be both fresh and deeply woody. Oud Tonic has that mass appeal, delivering an incense-like depth that makes it a genuinely charming wear.

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.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Oud Tonic kicks off with a zesty burst of mandarin and lime, brightened by pear blossom and a gin-like juniper. This energetic opening quickly leads into a sophisticated heart of smoky frankincense and rich labdanum, spiced with clove and saffron. The base is an impressively smooth blend of leathery oud, grounding cedar, and a soft musk, creating a woody, aromatic trail that lingers wonderfully.
