The Story
Colonia Oud is a refined take on oud, blending the brand's signature citrus freshness with a smooth, woody oud.

It opens with bright bergamot and lemon, then settles into a warm heart of rose and patchouli, with a base of agarwood and amber. This is a sophisticated oud for those who appreciate subtlety.
