The Story
Black Oud is a bold, smoky fragrance that captures the dark richness of oud wood. It opens with a sharp burst of black pepper and saffron, then settles into a leathery, woody heart with a touch of rose. The base is deep and resinous, with labdanum and ambergris adding warmth. This is a scent for those who love intense, brooding oud compositions.
