Black Oud Pepper
Fragrance notes
Character
Black Oud Pepper is a daytime companion for the man who wants wood without heaviness. The opening hits with pink pepper and lemon, bright and slightly tingling, while bergamot smooths the edges so the start feels clean rather than sharp. Cedar and galbanum take over quickly, adding a green, resinous heart that keeps the citrus from leaning too sweet. Angelica brings a faintly herbal lift that makes the middle feel open and airy, never dense or cloaked.
Sandalwood and oud form the base, but the oud here is restrained, more a warm shadow than a dominant force. Musk and powdery accords soften the woods so the drydown stays close and personal rather than imposing. The overall impression is aromatic and spicy in a gentle way, with fresh spicy and soft spicy notes working together instead of competing. It suits someone who enjoys traditional oud compositions but prefers them tempered by citrus and green herbs.
Wear it while walking a city street after a spring rain, when wet pavement meets the dry scent of cedar fences and a slice of lemon sits on a wooden bench.
