The House of Oud Ruby Red is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Maurizio Cerizza. Ruby Red opens with Ginger and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Tuberose and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Candied Ginger, Woody Notes, Musk, and Vanilla. The House of Oud's Ruby Red carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

A creamy, spiced-ginger dream that’s either a subtle indulgence or a beast-mode bombshell, depending entirely on your skin (and maybe the phase of the moon). Either way, it's a solid win for ginger lovers, offering an elegant sweetness that feels both unique and universally appealing.

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

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from 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

About

Ruby Red bursts open with a sparkling, zesty tangerine and an inviting, warm ginger, immediately setting a delicious tone. This lively start mellows into a creamy heart where narcotic tuberose and soft ylang-ylang intertwine with a sweeter, more mellow ginger. The base settles into a comforting, slightly gourmand blend of candied ginger, rich vanilla, and subtle woods, underscored by a clean musk that adds a touch of elegance.
