Rose Oud

Rose Oud presents a refined, deeply atmospheric rose with a dry, smoky backbone that feels both intimate and subtly mysterious. It opens with a hint of bitter-sweet wine-like richness and a slight metallic soapiness, which quickly softens into a warm, velvety blend of dry rose petals, earthy labdanum, and faint cumin spice. The oud is not aggressive—its presence is more a sense of depth and darkness than a true aromatic oud presence—and this nuance gives the fragrance its unique character. It evolves slowly, with a soft balsamic resinous drydown that lingers pleasantly close to the skin, like a quiet evening with hidden stories. Though not overly sweet, the rose feels rich and poised, more like dried petals than syrupy jam, and it harmonizes rather than overwhelms with the woody and spicy notes.
