The Gate Fragrances Paris Pure Oudiction is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Valérie Garnuch-Mentzel. Pure Oudiction opens with Mate, Cardamom, Sage, and Cannabis, settles into a heart of Suede, Licorice, Hay, and Fir Resin, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vetiver, Oud, and Patchouli. The Gate Fragrances Paris's Pure Oudiction carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a proper head-turner, alright. Pure Oudiction delivers a bold, green, and slightly illicit vibe that certainly isn't for shrinking violets. Definitely takes a certain confidence to pull off, but it'll get you noticed.

Its potent projection and unique profile make it less suited for an office setting, but it absolutely shines on a date or for an evening out. The sophisticated blend, despite its edgy cannabis, can work for formal events if applied sparingly, making it versatile for social occasions.

About

Pure Oudiction kicks off with an unusual, herbaceous blast of mate, sage, and a distinct cannabis note that's green rather than smoky. This intriguing opening settles into a leathery heart of suede and dry hay, with a touch of sweet, earthy liquorice. The base grounds it all with a robust trio of woody oud, damp patchouli, and earthy vetiver, creating a fragrance that feels both ancient and utterly modern, with a lingering warmth.
