Smoked Oud

Smoked Oud by Vince Camuto is a sophisticated, smoky oriental with a strong rose core and a smooth, resinous base. It unfolds with a clear juniper berry and rose opening, carried on a hazy, textured smoke that balances warmth and sweetness. The heart reveals a dry incense and spicy aromatic depth, blending patchouli-like warmth with a gentle guava-like fruitiness, while the oud note is more subtle, contributing to a dry, leathery smokiness rather than a raw or animalic presence. The base settles into an amber-sweet tonka and balsamic-resinous backdrop, creating a softly glowing, intimate scent with a richly layered sweetness but low sillage. Though it lacks a powerful oud presence or long-lasting projection—most wearers find it fades well before the 3-hour mark—it maintains a surprisingly well-blended, elegant balance that many appreciate as an accessible, niche-like style. It performs best in colder weather and shines in evening or night settings, where its quiet smokiness and sweetness are more apparent.
