Oud Wood
Fragrance notes
Character
Cinnamon and cedar open Oud Wood with a dry, resinous heat that feels like stepping into a wood-paneled room where the air has been warmed by a low fire. Lavender softens the edges without turning the blend soapy, keeping the entrance aromatic rather than sweet. As the top notes settle, lily-of-the-valley and rose rise in a pale, powdery layer that sits lightly over the spice. The flowers never dominate. They give the heart a clean, slightly formal character that bridges the sharp opening and the heavier base. Sandalwood and oud anchor the composition with a dense, golden woodiness, while amber adds a rounded warmth that lingers on the skin. The overall impression is polished and composed, more suited to a tailored coat than a linen shirt.
This is a fragrance for a cold evening walk down a quiet street where the air bites a little and the streetlights reflect off damp pavement. The cinnamon and amber create a cocooning effect that pairs naturally with heavy knits and wool scarves. It feels intentional and grown, never loud or messy. The powdery white floral touch keeps it from becoming too rugged, giving it a refined finish that works in close quarters. Composed by Abdullah Kuruş and launched in 2019, it balances its notes with a steady hand. The final impression is a smooth, woody warmth built around sandalwood, oud, and amber.
