Oud For Love
Oud For Love opens with whiskey-like booziness, saffron, cumin, coriander, and aldehydes, then moves into a rich floral heart of tuberose, ylang-ylang, iris, sandalwood, and clove. It settles into a deep base of Laotian oud, immortelle, vetiver, patchouli, musk, amber, castoreum, hyraceum, heliotrope, caramelized notes, and tolu resinoid, creating a smoky, sweet, animalic finish suited to evening wear.

Scent Development and Character
A warm woody-spicy oriental with boozy opening facets, a floral-spiced heart, and a dense smoky-ambery drydown. The structure feels opulent, tactile, and slightly animalic rather than clean or transparent.
Who It Is For and When to Wear It
Best suited to evening wear and special occasions, especially in cooler weather. It reads as dramatic, polished, and persistent. autumn/winter. Sillage is strong (estimated). Longevity is very long-lasting (estimated).
