Ohoud
Fragrance notes
Character
The first spray opens with a bright, metallic flash of aldehydes. Saffron immediately follows, lending a warm, slightly leathery heat to the citrus peel. Rose appears early, not as a soft petal but as a crisp, almost fizzy floral sheet that sits above the spice.
Heliotrope and coumarin create a dense, powdery cloud in the heart. The damask rose here feels heavier and more resinous than in the opening. Nutmeg adds a sharp, fresh spicy edge that cuts through the sugary vanilla accord, preventing the middle stage from becoming a flat, sweet blur.
Oud anchors the base with a dry, woody bitterness. It is joined by patchouli and labdanum, which contribute a dark, earthy weight. Musk softens the sharper edges of the wood, resulting in a texture that feels both dusty and rich against the skin.
This composition fits a formal evening event where the dress code is traditional. Wear it when the room is dim and the air is filled with conversation and heavy fabrics. It is a choice for the person who wants a scent that feels rooted in classic Middle Eastern perfumery.
