Trussardi Amber Oud
by Trussardi
Trussardi Amber Oud presents a dense, warm, and slightly synthetic oud impression with an integrated amber and leather base, ideal for colder seasons. Its opening features a distinct blend of geranium, pink pepper, and elemi resin, lending an aromatic freshness that fades into deeper, smoky, and earthy layers. The fragrance evolves into a complex interplay of oud-like synthetic accord, benzoin, patchouli, vetiver, and subtle incense, creating a dry, slightly bitter creaminess reminiscent of old library books or tahini. It exhibits moderate to strong sillage and excellent longevity, especially on fabric, with a prominent drydown that some describe as 'dirty animalic' or 'wiry'—a characteristic that may appeal to fans of rugged, aromatic oud scents. The presentation is unisex, though most associate it with masculine or androgynous wear.
