Olfactory pyramid
- Top notes: cardamom, pepper, Brazilian rosewood
- Heart notes: oud, sandalwood, vetiver
- Base notes: vanilla, tonka bean, ambergris
How it unfolds
The opening is spicy: cardamom, fresh and aromatic, and pepper, drier, frame the rosewood. The heart then brings in oud, dense and woody; sandalwood rounds it out, vetiver gives it a drier, earthier structure. The base softens with vanilla and tonka bean, while ambergris leaves a warm trail on the skin.
Who it’s for, when to wear it
Unisex according to the brand, Dark Aoud suits anyone who likes oud without compromise. Its intensity makes it best suited to autumn and winter, evenings and special occasions. At the office or in an enclosed space, a single spray is enough.
How to use
Spray from about fifteen centimetres, on the neck or the nape, without rubbing. Start with one spray and let the fragrance settle before adding more: oud reveals itself better once the opening has passed. Store the bottle upright, away from light and heat.
