The Story
Royal Oud Absolu is a rich, opulent extrait that pushes the boundaries of oud perfumery. Alberto Morillas blends a rare, smoky oud with bright bergamot and a touch of saffron, then anchors it in a warm, leathery base. This is a fragrance for those who appreciate depth and complexity without sacrificing elegance.
Note Breakdown
Encyclopedia Insights
How does this compare to the original Royal Oud?+
Royal Oud Absolu is a much denser, more concentrated version. It has a stronger oud presence and longer longevity, with a leathery base that the original lacks.
Is this suitable for daily wear?+
It's quite potent, so I'd reserve it for evenings or special occasions. A single spray is enough to last all day.
What's the difference between Extrait and EDP?+
Extrait has a higher concentration of perfume oils (typically 20-30%), resulting in stronger projection and longevity. Royal Oud Absolu is an extrait, so it's more intense than an EDP.
