A modern rose and oud with serious staying power. It's Zara, so don't expect MFK-level nuance, but it's a solid, affordable take on the genre, though some find it a bit basic.

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

Perpetual Oud opens with a bright, juicy pear and a hint of piquant pepper, quickly moving into a rich, almost jammy red rose heart. Saffron adds a touch of leathery spice, before a warm, earthy base of oud, amber, and patchouli grounds the scent. There's a persistent clean musk that weaves throughout, keeping it from becoming too heavy.
