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 warm spicy-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.

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.
