I Want Oud

Cardamom's warm spice opens I Want Oud with a sharp, almost peppery brightness before rose and saffron bloom into something softer, gilded. The heart deepens with woody undertones and nutmeg's earthiness, rose lingering like crushed petals against skin. As it settles, myrrh brings a smoky, resinous quality while benzoin adds honeyed depth beneath the dark, leathery oud that anchors the base—each layer revealing itself slowly until only the oud's woody, slightly animalic warmth remains.
