The Story
Aoud Forest is a bold, smoky oud fragrance that feels like walking through a dense, ancient forest. The opening is a burst of black pepper and bergamot, leading into a heart of rose and patchouli. The base is a rich blend of agarwood, leather, and amber, creating a dark, resinous scent that lasts all day. It's a statement fragrance for those who love powerful, woody ouds.
