Intense Oud opens with pear and raspberry, a surprisingly fruity start before saffron adds warmth and spice. Agarwood, or oud, takes center stage at the heart alongside frankincense and damask rose, giving the scent a rich, resinous depth. Leather, patchouli, and ambergris settle into the base, closing things out with a smoky, grounded finish that lasts.
Best worn during colder months and at night, when a dense, rich scent suits the setting. Projection is strong straight out of the bottle and holds through the evening, with longevity easily past eight hours.
