Oud Wood Eau de Parfum Sample

Description
Oud Wood is the fragrance that made oud accessible to the luxury fragrance world — a composition that takes the exotic, demanding character of oud and frames it in a Western, wearable context that remains one of the most universally admired results in the Private Blend collection. It has earned its iconic status not through hype but through consistent excellence over nearly two decades of production.
The opening is immediately warm and slightly smoky — oud and rosewood create a rich, exotic first impression that is approachable without being tame. The heart develops a smooth, spiced quality with cardamom and sandalwood adding warmth and structure to the central oud accord, giving the composition a perfectly balanced East-meets-West character. The base settles into amber, vanilla and musks — a smooth, warm dry-down that is one of the most compelling and long-lasting in the range. Oud Wood is the fragrance that converts oud sceptics and satisfies oud devotees simultaneously, and it has been doing so since 2007.

Why sample first?
Even the most refined oud fragrances develop differently across skin types. The cardamom and sandalwood can read differently depending on your skin's warmth. A full day's wear confirms how Oud Wood performs for you before committing at Private Blend prices.
