The House of Oud 2025 EDP
L’Explicite
The House of Oud L’Explicite is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Cristian Calabrò. L’Explicite opens with Lemon Zest and Ylang-Ylang, settles into a heart of Spicy Notes, Sweet Notes, Banana, and Bread, and dries down to a base of Musk, Fruity Notes, Amber, and Violet. The House of Oud's L’Explicite carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.
This loud, polarizing gourmand is not for the faint-hearted. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent with extreme performance; a daring banana dessert that demands attention and probably won't be forgotten, whether for good or ill.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Best Occasions
Its extreme longevity and strong sillage, coupled with the artificial gourmand notes, make it unsuitable for professional settings. It's best reserved for date nights or casual outings where its unique character can be appreciated without overwhelming a small space.
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.

- Synthetic musk
- Ylang-ylang
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
