Oud Maktum
Fragrance notes
Character
Oud Maktum opens with Cambodian oud that feels resinous and slightly damp. The wood arrives with a distinct animalic edge that reads as leathery and raw rather than polished. Fresh spicy facets cut through the density early on, giving the first minutes a sharp lift before the heavier elements settle in.
The heart introduces Indian oud that is drier and more medicinal than the opening. Warm spicy notes build steadily here, adding a steady heat that sits close to the wood. The transition is smooth, with the Cambodian softness giving way to a firmer, more austere profile that stays firmly in the woody family.
The base rests on agarwood that feels deep and unwavering. The animalic and warm spicy accords remain present, creating a scent that suits a quiet street after sunset when the air turns cool. It is for the person who wants a fragrance that stays entirely within the oud tradition without softening its edges.
