The Oud Affair

by Jérôme Epinette

Vilhelm Parfumerie The Oud Affair is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Jérôme Epinette. The Oud Affair opens with Honey and Ginger, and settles into a heart of Tobacco. Vilhelm Parfumerie's The Oud Affair carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a divisive affair, alright. You'll either adore its opulent, smoky honey-tobacco embrace, or you'll be running for the hills from what some call an 'ashtray' scent. Definitely not a blind buy, but for those who get it, it's a masterpiece.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature make it unsuitable for the office or casual daytime wear, as noted by reviewers. However, the luxurious tobacco and honey accords, combined with its 'sultry' and 'magnetic' feel, position it perfectly for upscale date nights, formal events, and cooler evening wear, as many users attested.

About

A rich, boozy honey-ginger opening melts into a heart of dark, unlit tobacco leaf - think cured, not burnt - with a subtle, non-animalic oud peeking through. It's grounded by a sweet, smoky vanilla, providing a creamy depth that clings to the skin. This isn't a shy scent; it's a confident, complex dance between sweet warmth and smoky sophistication, with whispers of leather and spice enhancing its allure.
