The Story
Note Breakdown
Encyclopedia Insights
Is Oud Essentiel suitable for beginners?+
Not really. The oud and leather notes are quite intense, so it's better for those already familiar with bold, animalic fragrances.
How does it compare to other oud fragrances?+
It's smoother and more refined than many Middle Eastern ouds, with a distinctly French elegance thanks to the citrus and rose.
