Coffee, saffron and dark spices open over a smoky oud and birch-leather heart, with praline and plum adding sweetness. Sandalwood, cedar, amber and vanilla deepen it into a rich woody spicy oud with strong projection and real presence.

The Slow Depth
A rich and warm centre of gravity. Change is part of the journey.
Everything around you may shift but this stays constant. The depth here takes time. It opens slowly and rewards patience. Some things get richer the longer you stay.

Oud Noir sits mid-range on risk, neither a clear crowd-pleaser nor clearly divisive on the evidence available. That is 88th percentile for risk across 5,322 scored fragrances.
Oud Noir sits mid-range on texture, which for a fragrance with thin wear data reflects an absence of reports rather than a measured middle. That is 90th percentile for texture across 5,322 scored fragrances.
Oud Noir carries sweetness without letting it define the scent. That is 66th percentile for sweetness across 5,322 scored fragrances.
Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin. Where wear reports are thin, those scores rest near the middle by design, so a mid-range reading here is a statement about the evidence as much as about the scent. Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
