Fragrance Notes
Top: Saffron, Ginger
Heart: Turkish Rose, Cumin
Base: Agarwood, Guaiac Wood, Cistus Labdanum, Incense, Patchouli, Castoreum, Orcanox
Oud Abramad opens with saffron and ginger for a dry, heated spice effect before Turkish rose and cumin create a warm floral center with an earthy edge. Agarwood becomes the dominant structure in the base, reinforced by guaiac wood, labdanum, incense, patchouli, castoreum, and Orcanox. The combination makes the drydown smoky, resinous, leathery, and distinctly woody rather than sweet. Rose provides contrast, but the fragrance remains centered on oud and dark woods throughout its development.
Created by Mathilde Bijaoui, Oud Abramad is BDK Parfums’ material-focused interpretation of oud, framed by saffron, rose, cumin, smoke, and resins.

Summary
Summary
BDK Parfums Oud Abramad is a dark amber-woody Eau de Parfum built around oud, smoke, warm spice, rose, and resins. Saffron and ginger create a dry, energetic opening before Turkish rose and cumin give the heart floral warmth with an earthy edge. Agarwood dominates the base, supported by guaiac wood, labdanum, incense, patchouli, castoreum, and Orcanox for a dense, smoky finish. It suits shoppers who want oud presented with spice and rose but without much sweetness. The overall effect is assertive, resinous, leathery, and strongly evening-oriented.
