The House of Oud Wabisabi is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Cristian Calabrò. Wabisabi opens with Citrus Leaf, Bergamot, Lime, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Jasmin Sambac, Rose, Jasmine, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cinnamon, and Vanilla. The House of Oud's Wabisabi carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a proper divisive scent. Some call it a unique, fresh floral masterpiece; others get hit with strong, headache-inducing white florals or even worse. Definitely not a safe blind buy, as it plays differently on various skin chemistries.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date

Given its moderate performance and unique, sometimes challenging character, this isn't an everyday office scent. It's better suited for casual wear, spring days, or a more adventurous date night where its quirks can shine. Its divisive nature makes it less ideal for formal settings.

About

Wabisabi opens with an intriguing and vibrant burst of zesty lime, bergamot, and a curious, green kick from wasabi and citrus leaf, softened by a hint of juicy pear. It then transitions into a rich, heady heart of jasmine and ylang-ylang, with a touch of rosy geranium, before settling into a warm, musky base with whispers of vanilla and cinnamon, lending a sweet, almost caramelised depth to the dry down.
