Oud Callistus
Fragrance notes
Oud Callistus opens with a sharp yuzu and petitgrain pairing that feels bright and slightly bitter. The citrus is clean and immediate. The heart brings orange blossom, tuberose, jasmine, and rose all at once. The white floral accord is dense and heady. The rose adds a soft powder that sits beside the creamier petals.
The base is where the composition spends most of its time. Indian oud and sandalwood form a warm, resinous foundation. Tobacco and myrrh introduce a dry, aromatic smoke that never becomes heavy. Hay adds a faintly grassy, straw-like edge to the wood. The oud here is smooth rather than medicinal. The sweetness from the florals lingers into the deeper notes, where it meets the woody spices.
The blend leans heavily on its white floral heart, which can feel overwhelming in hotter weather. The hay and myrrh give it an earthy roughness that some will find distracting. It is a busy mix of green, sweet, and woody signals that does not always settle into a clear shape. The tuberose dominates the air around the wearer more than the subtle oud does.
