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.

About

Blooming Oud opens with a bright burst of cardamom, quickly evolving into a sophisticated interplay of rich leather and warm amber. The oud here is clean and smooth, providing a subtle, mysterious depth rather than a heavy, animalic punch. A touch of cistus and lavender adds an elegant, almost floral, nuanced character, settling into a comforting, woody base.
