Boutique Silk Oud eau de parfum 100 ml — Volaré
Boutique Silk Oud is an eau de parfum by Volaré, the fragrance brand of the Dubai-based house Mamlakat Al Oud. Its square midnight-blue glass bottle, under a ridged gold cap, carries a black label ringed in gold, a motif repeated on the box. Its character: a rose spiced with clove and saffron, set on a base of benzoin and leather.
Fragrance pyramid
- Top notes: clove, saffron
- Heart notes: rose, patchouli
- Base notes: benzoin, leather notes
How it unfolds
Clove and saffron open on a spicy, slightly sharp warmth. At the heart, rose takes over, backed by patchouli, which gives it an earthy depth. The base rounds out: benzoin, resinous and balsamic, joins leather notes for a creamy, warm finish.
Who it is for, and when
Volaré lists it among its women’s fragrances and designs it for special occasions and evenings. Its trio of rose, spice and leather will also appeal to men who enjoy dark roses. More a cold-season fragrance than an office scent in summer.
How to use
One or two sprays are enough, from about 15 cm away, on the nape or décolleté, without rubbing. In the evening, add one more on a scarf, after testing a discreet area. Store it away from heat.

Does it contain oud? Despite its name, the pyramid published by Volaré does not list oud wood: its warmth comes from spices, benzoin and leather notes.
