Ulric de Varens UDV is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1993. UDV opens with Lemon, Sage, Mint, and Artemisia, settles into a heart of Vetiver, Galbanum, and Rosemary, and dries down to a base of Musk, Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Jasmine. Ulric de Varens's UDV carries a Statement verdict, an aromatic-led wear.

This 90s powerhouse is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's a cheap, synthetic mess. But for others, it's a bold, masculine masterpiece that punches way above its weight.

About

A potent aromatic-woody blast, UDV opens with sharp lemon and tangerine, quickly met by a bracing herbal mix of mint, artemisia, and sage. The heart settles into earthy vetiver and green galbanum before deepening into a rich, mossy base of patchouli, oakmoss, and musk. Expect an unapologetically masculine scent with a clear vintage stamp.
