Versace Oud Noir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013. Oud Noir opens with Bitter Orange, Neroli, and Pepper, and settles into a heart of Cardamom, Saffron, and Frankincense. Versace's Oud Noir carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A smooth, westernised oud that's often compared to Tom Ford Oud Wood, but with a lighter, fresher Versace twist. It's a real chameleon, loved by many for its wearability and surprising versatility, though a few find the oud too synthetic or woody.

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:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its refined, warm spicy and woody character, combined with a 'friendly' take on oud, makes it highly suitable for formal and date settings. While some mention decent longevity, lighter projection means it can work for the office, but its distinctive character might be too much for casual or sport wear.

About

Opens with a vibrant, peppery kick and the bright zing of bitter orange, leading into an aromatic heart of spicy cardamom and saffron, with a distinct frankincense smokiness. The base mellows into a clean, smooth oud, balanced by earthy patchouli, creating a refined, subtly luxurious aroma that’s remarkably airy for an oud. Expect a unique journey from fresh spice to an approachable woody depth.
