Description

Oud Accord is a rich and sophisticated fragrance composition inspired by the deep, complex character traditionally associated with oud or agarwood.

It combines dark woody, smoky, resinous, leathery, balsamic and ambery facets to create a powerful and luxurious fragrance effect. Depending on the formulation, an oud accord can range from smooth and elegant to dark, smoky and intensely animalic.

Oud accords are particularly valuable in oriental, woody, amber, leather and niche fragrances, where they provide depth, richness and long-lasting character.

Perfumers' Tip

Oud Accord is ideal for creating a deep, luxurious and long-lasting woody base. Combine it with Rose for a classic rose-oud direction, or pair it with Saffron, Cardamom and Leather Accord for a rich oriental composition.

For a modern interpretation, try Oud Accord + Ambroxan + Iso E Super + Sandalwood + Cashmeran. Cypriol and Patchouli can intensify the dark woody character, while Vanilla and Benzoin can soften the accord with warmth and sweetness.

Because oud accords can be extremely powerful, start at low levels and increase gradually during evaluation.
