Summary

Rose Oud is a rich floral-woody Eau de Parfum that pairs rose and oud with coriander, davana, osmanthus, patchouli, sandalwood, vanilla, musk, and amber. Coriander gives the opening a dry aromatic lift while davana and osmanthus add warm fruity-floral texture. Rose absolute dominates the heart, softened by lily of the valley before the fragrance moves into a deeper woody base. Oud provides the darkest structure, while patchouli and sandalwood add earthiness and polish. Vanilla, musk, and amber smooth the finish without turning it into a gourmand. It should suit shoppers who want rose with depth and wood rather than a bright romantic floral. The overall effect is opulent, refined, and warm.
