Supreme Oud vs Oud Vendôme

Shared character

Both fragrances are built around cedar‑wood, musk, cinnamon and oud/agarwood, delivering a woody‑ambery (oriental) scent profile that is simultaneously spicy, sweet and resinous.

How they differ

Supreme Oud adds earthy vetiver, warm amber, bright pink pepper and deep patchouli to the shared cedar‑wood, musk, cinnamon and oud base. Oud Vendôme replaces those four ingredients with aromatic incense/olibanum, green‑sharp galbanum, aromatic saffron, ginger and frankincense. Both fragrances sit in the woody‑ambery (oriental) family and share the same woody, spicy, sweet, oriental and resinous accords, but their extra ingredients give each a distinct sub‑character. Community scores are close, with Supreme Oud at 7.5 and Oud Vendôme at 7.8.

Who each suits

Supreme Oud – suited to wearers who enjoy an earthy‑warm orientation with vetiver’s green dryness, amber’s soft sweetness, pink pepper’s subtle heat and patchouli’s deep, woody depth. Oud Vendôme – suited to wearers who prefer a more aromatic‑herbal and incense‑rich orientation, highlighted by frankincense/olibanum, galbanum’s sharp green edge, saffron’s exotic spice and ginger’s lively zing.
