Our take

Oud Melody opens with ginger, cypress and cardamom. The ginger brings a clean heat that moves quickly across the skin. Cypress adds a green, resinous edge, while cardamom rounds the top with a soft, slightly citrus spice. This opening is brief and serves only to lead into the core of the fragrance.

The heart settles into oud, nagarmotha and resins. The oud here is dry and woody rather than animalic, supported by the earthy, leather-like quality of nagarmotha. Resins bind these elements together with a smooth, golden texture. In the base, amyris and frankincense deepen the wood, and patchouli grounds the entire structure with its dark, damp soil character. The result is a composition that fits a cold night walk under bare trees, where the air is crisp and the streetlights reflect off wet pavement. It suits someone who wants a straightforward woody scent without sweetness or floral distraction. The frankincense lingers, leaving a pure oud accord.
