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.

This fragrance isn't for the faint of heart or the close-quarters office, given its potent oud and strong sillage. It's best reserved for dates or formal events where its commanding presence can be appreciated, transporting you to exotic locales without being out of place.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Oud Luban opens with a punchy fusion of spicy black pepper and the rich, blooming elegance of rose. This intense start quickly deepens into a commanding heart of potent Laotian oud, a complex, animalic woodiness that's the star of the show. As it settles, a woody, smoky frankincense emerges, entwined with earthy vetiver and steadfast cedar, creating a profoundly evocative and long-lasting dry down. It's an intoxicating journey through ancient markets and opulent spice routes.
