Oud – Eau de Parfum

SPIRIT OF DUBAI – a niche perfume line from Dubai in which every fragrance tells its own facet of the city, from desert sand to skyline.

Oud smells smoky-woody and sweetly balsamic at once – an homage to Arabian perfumery's most noble raw material. Pineapple, lime, saffron and cardamom open it surprisingly fruity-spiced, smoked incense, myrrh and red rose come together at the heart into a dense, earthy picture, before pure Indian agarwood, sandalwood and tobacco settle into a deep, smoky-leathery base.

Oud works best in autumn, winter and in the evening. The unisex scent makes an intense, maximalist signature scent for special occasions.

What makes Oud special to us is its honesty about its own name: where other brands use "oud" as just one of twenty notes, this fragrance genuinely places pure, natural Indian agarwood at its centre – layered with fruit and spice, but never hidden. For anyone who wants to actually experience oud rather than just read about it, this is the right fragrance.
