Oud Seven (2011 Original)
EDPUnisex
The Story
Oud Seven is a bold, uncompromising take on oud that launched Matière Première. It opens with a sharp, medicinal blast of real Laotian oud, then softens into a rich leathery heart with hints of saffron. The base is a warm, resinous blend of labdanum and vanilla that lingers for hours. This is a fragrance for those who want the real thing, not a synthetic approximation.
