Oud Mafia
Fragrance notes
Character
Saffron threads glow against the first breath of Oud Mafia, adding a golden heat to the spice that follows. Nutmeg and thyme provide a dry, herbal edge that keeps the opening from feeling flat. This is a dense composition that announces itself through a warm, resinous haze.
Véronique Nyberg built the heart around oud and incense, letting Gurjan balsam deepen the wood with a sticky, amber-like weight. Cistus incanus pulls the scent toward a leathery, smoky terrain that feels grounded and serious. The aromatic facets here are dark rather than bright.
Vetiver and patchouli anchor the base, lending an earthy, root-like foundation that supports the heavier materials above. Orcanox™ helps the entire structure linger on fabric and skin for an extended period. The sillage carries well beyond the immediate vicinity, creating a distinct trail as you move through a space.
The mood fits a quiet street at night when the air turns cool and the lights are low. It suits someone who enjoys resinous woods and does not mind a scent that stays present in the room. Those who prefer clean citrus or light florals will find this too heavy. The accord is balsamic.
