Oud Noir

Oud Noir opens with bright tartness—tart apple and plum punctured by grapefruit and saffron's warm spice, rhubarb's green snap cutting through. The heart shifts into floral shadow: carnation and rose soften against amber's resinous depth, while cedar and orris add a powdery, almost mineral coolness. As it settles, oud emerges dark and smoky beneath sandalwood's creamy warmth, vetiver's earthy grip anchoring the fade. Guaiac wood and castoreum lend a woody, animalic undertone; vanilla and patchouli coax sweetness from the base's deeper wood and musk.
