The House of Oud Live In Colors is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Maurizio Cerizza. Live In Colors opens with Red Fruits, Lemon, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Pink Pepper and Ginger, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Hinoki Wood. The House of Oud's Live In Colors carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Divisive and frustrating, Live In Colors promises a refreshing, unique citrus-woody experience but often delivers fleeting performance and inconsistent batches. It's a gorgeous concept, but many find it overpriced for the reality of its wear.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

Its fresh, light character and moderate performance make it suitable for casual and office wear, especially in warmer weather. It's generally too subtle for a formal setting or a impactful date, but could work for a quick gym session.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • 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

Live In Colors opens with a vibrant, zesty burst of grapefruit and lemon, sweetened by a touch of red fruits. This initial freshness is quickly warmed by a sparkling ginger and a hint of pink pepper, adding a subtle spicy kick. The dry down reveals a calming blend of clean musk and soft amber, underpinned by the unique, serene woody aroma of hinoki, creating a tranquil, spa-like finish.
