Oud Noir vs Oud

Shared character

Both fragrances are built around a rich oud/agarwood heart surrounded by cedarwood, sandalwood, musk, amber, patchouli and saffron, and they each emphasize ambery (oriental) and woody accords.

How they differ

Oud Noir and Oud share the core oud‑centric palette of cedarwood, sandalwood, musk, amber, patchouli, saffron and agarwood, and both sit within ambery‑oriental and woody accords. The only distinction in their compositions is that Oud adds a set of secondary notes—leather, pink pepper, nutmeg, clary sage, rum, coffee and davana—while Oud Noir lists no unique ingredients. Consequently, Oud presents a broader, spicier‑leathery‑gourmand character, whereas Oud remains focused on the pure, classic oud‑wood‑amber core.

Who each suits

• Oud Noir: suited to wearers who prefer a straightforward, traditional oud composition without additional spice, leather or gourmand accents. • Oud: suited to those who enjoy a more layered scent that adds leather, pink pepper, nutmeg, clary sage, rum, coffee and davana to the core oud‑oriental base.
