Eau de parfum 0.34 fl.oz.
I belong to the aristocracy of the forest. When attacked, I defend myself by secreting a resin that makes me rarer and more precious than gold! A face-off between oud and leather, circling each other, avoiding one another, then embracing in a muscular clinch. Cardamom, pink berries and saffron encourage the duel, while cedar and vetiver look on calmly. The boxer's dressing room. Leather gloves await their owner. A reassuring ritual before heading into battle — fumigations of oud and sage send their spirals of courage swirling to face destiny.
Perfumer: Camille Chemardin
Harvested from the Aquilaria tree in the southern provinces of Thailand, oud wood essence is one of the most expensive in the world. When infected by a specific fungus, the tree produces an aromatic resin as a defense mechanism. Once extracted and distilled, this resin transforms into the coveted oud essence.
Due to its rarity and the intricate production process, oud is among the most luxurious materials in perfumery, with prices reaching several thousand euros per liter. Precious and highly sought after for its intense fragrance, its rich resin develops deep woody, animalic, smoky, and balsamic notes. Thai oud oil stands out with its bold woody profile, complemented by subtle animalic nuances, aged leather undertones, and a sweet resinous warmth.
Personalize your fragrance with layering
To create a unique fragrance that matches your current desires, your mood, or your outfit, you can combine OBVIOUS fragrances with one another. For a successful signature, OBVIOUS recommends using two fragrances.
Here are our fragrance suggestions for combinations with Un Oud:
- Un Oud + Un Patchouli: In this subtle blend, as it evolves, you get a beautifully earthy, woody, alcoholic tobacco. We find ourselves drawn into mossy and damp notes, giving the fragrance an effect of an old spirits cellar — rustic and imposing. One of the best mixes.
- Un Oud + Une Rose: A warm and dense oriental rose. Less juicy and less green than Une Rose alone, Un Oud gives the rose the oriental and sensual character it seeks. A fruity, ambered, dense, slightly animalic layering. A rose with a bold and sensual character.
