Scent Profile

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

Virtuous Oud opens with a vibrant, zesty burst of bergamot and lemon, immediately uplifting and clean. As it settles, a delicate, almost translucent oud emerges, far from the heavy, animalic variety. This clean oud is beautifully blended with aromatic lavender, subtle florals, and a fresh musk, creating a sophisticated and airy heart. The dry down introduces a smooth, earthy vetiver and creamy sandalwood, grounding the scent while maintaining its fresh, elegant appeal.
