Kamel OUD

Tropical intensity wrapped in luxury. Oud Maracujá by Maison Crivelli is a bold, seductive Extrait de Parfum where vibrant passionfruit, luminous Turkish rose and saffron meet precious oud, rich leather, glowing amber and creamy vanilla. Exotic sophistication with irresistible presence, composed by perfumer Jordi Fernandez.

The Story

The house frames Oud Maracujá as a passion fruit tasting in remote oud wood forests: the richness of oud set against bright, exotic fruit, in a thirst-quenching fruity oud that is unisex and contemporary in design. Vibrant passionfruit wrapped around refined oud, rather than buried by it, makes it one of the most unusual openings in modern perfumery.

How It Smells

Opening
Bold and exotic: a radiant burst of passionfruit and saffron over Turkish rose, juicy, tart and sparkling, like fresh tropical fruit meeting warm spice and velvet petals.

Heart
Darker and richer as oud, benzoin and Indonesian patchouli leaf rise through the fruity brightness, a luxurious contrast between tropical sweetness and smoky woody depth.

Dry Down
Warm and sensual, a creamy resinous base of leather, akigalawood, amber vanilla and labdanum with a glowing sweetness.

Athletic elegance in a bottle. Torino 22 by Xerjoff pairs cooling eucalyptus, sparkling bergamot and rich saffron with aromatic clary sage, refined mate, polished guaiac wood and sensual musk. Vibrant, modern and crisp, with winning energy.

The Story

Torino 22 was created to celebrate the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin, the second release in Xerjoff's Torino series, which ties the house, founded by Turin native Sergio Momo, to men's tennis. Released in late 2022, it is its own scent rather than a flanker of Torino21.

How It Smells

Opening
Crisp, energetic and immediately distinctive. Eucalyptus, bergamot and saffron feel cool, aromatic and slightly spicy, like fresh mountain air meeting luxurious citrus and warm golden spice.

Heart
Greener and smoother. Clary sage, mate and guaiac wood form an elegant aromatic heart with tea-like freshness; the mate gives a leafy sophistication while sage keeps it bright and refined.

Dry Down
Warm, clean and versatile. Musk and dry woods settle into a crisp woody-musky base that feels upscale and quietly seductive.

An olfactory journey into Arabian luxury. Liwa by Widian sets golden saffron, luminous jasmine and bergamot over warm amber wood, then settles into sandalwood, patchouli, vetiver and smoky oud incense. Rich, elegant and deeply captivating, it is boldly refined.

The Story

Liwa is an extrait de parfum from Widian, the Abu Dhabi-based house that builds its perfumes around the oud, amber, incense and rare flowers of the Arabian world. It has a regal Middle Eastern character, but one that is refined and modern rather than overpowering.

How It Smells

Opening
Rich, mysterious and immediately luxurious. Saffron, jasmine, bergamot and artemisia give a spicy-floral radiance, golden saffron meeting smooth jasmine and aromatic herbs, exotic, polished and very high-end.

Heart
Amber wood, white flowers and geranium form a warm, elegant heart, silky and opulent, balancing floral softness with glowing amber richness.

Dry Down
Cedarwood, patchouli, sandalwood, vetiver and oud incense settle into a smoky, resinous, woody base.

About the perfumer – Quentin Bisch →

Guidance turned into pure luxury armor. Guidance 46 by Amouage is the intensified Exceptional Extrait of the iconic Guidance, created by Quentin Bisch and launched in 2024. Pear, rose water, hazelnut and bitter almond open into rose, osmanthus, saffron and sambac jasmine, resting on a creamy, woody base of sandalwood, vanilla and ambergris.

The Story

Guidance 46 takes its name from its 46% perfume oil concentration, making it richer, smoother and more powerful than the original. Amouage presents it as a study in light and shade, fragility and strength, subtlety and ostentatiousness, and ages it for four weeks (two of maceration, two of maturation).

How It Smells

Opening
An intense blend of pear, rose water, hazelnut, bitter almond and frankincense: fruity, creamy and nutty, immediately addictive.

Heart
Lush rose, osmanthus, saffron and jasmine sambac bloom into a radiant floral richness.

Dry Down
Sandalwood, vanilla, ambergris, labdanum, Akigalawood, Georgywood and cypriol build a creamy woody base with great depth, richer, smoother, creamier and more regal than the original Guidance.

Imperium by Electimuss London is the scent of modern success. Sparkling citrus, elegant florals, creamy vanilla, and rich woods come together in a fragrance that feels powerful yet refined. Versatile, magnetic, and unmistakably luxurious, Imperium commands attention with quiet confidence.

What It Smells Like

Imperium opens bright, sparkling, and instantly luxurious with a burst of bergamot sharpened by aromatic coriander. The first impression is clean, uplifting, and energetic—fresh citrus with a refined spicy edge rather than a simple fruity freshness. Brand materials describe it as an aromatic woody citrus fragrance.

As it develops, elegant white florals begin to appear, giving the fragrance a creamy sophistication. Notes commonly listed include jasmine, lily, saffron, tuberose, neroli, and rose, which create a smooth floral heart without making it overly sweet or feminine. It feels polished, modern, and highly wearable.

The dry down is where Imperium becomes addictive—vanilla, musk, amber, guaiac wood, patchouli, and oud create a rich yet clean finish. The vanilla is creamy and sensual, while woods keep it masculine and confident. It smells expensive, versatile, and effortlessly attractive.

Smoke, spice and resin at full volume. Outlands by Amouage is an ultra-rich composition of spice, patchouli, incense, amber and woods, created by perfumer Cécile Zarokian and released in 2024 as part of The Essences collection. Bold, complex and magnetic, it is a luxurious powerhouse.

The Story

Outlands joins Amouage's The Essences collection as an Essence de Parfum, composed at roughly 30% perfume oils and given a special ageing process for added depth. It reads as a modern take on classic amber and spice, resinous and smoky in character.

How It Smells

Opening
Bright bergamot, lemon, cardamom, Sichuan pepper, elemi and frankincense: fresh, spicy and immediately energetic.

Heart
Darker and more textured, with patchouli, saffron, cumin, coriander, rose, orange blossom, wormwood and anise adding warmth and complexity.

Dry Down
Amber, vanilla, benzoin, labdanum, oud, birch, ambergris, musk and opoponax form a smoky, resinous base of great depth. The overall effect is spicy, resinous, woody, ambery and highly addictive.

Smoke, resin and roasted coffee in a dark, hypnotic haze. Black Afgano by Nasomatto is darkness refined into luxury. Smoky green accords, roasted coffee, rich tobacco, sacred incense, oud and glowing amber create a fragrance that feels bold, mysterious and unforgettable. Deeply provocative and endlessly magnetic, it leaves a trail of pure intrigue.

The Story

Black Afgano was released in 2009 by Nasomatto, the Italian project of perfumer Alessandro Gualtieri. The house says it aims to evoke the best quality of hashish and is the result of a quest to arouse the effects of temporary bliss. It is one of the most recognizable creations of the house.

How It Smells

Opening
Dark, dense and immediately hypnotic, with a smoky green accord often associated with cannabis, blended with resinous woods and aromatic herbs. The first impression is mysterious and almost narcotic: earthy, bitter-green and deeply atmospheric rather than sweet. It is one of the most recognizable openings in niche perfumery.

Heart
Richer and warmer. Coffee, tobacco, resins, woods and incense rise through the composition, creating a thick, luxurious darkness that feels meditative and sensual. Many wearers describe smoky hashish, dark woods and warm embers rather than a literal cannabis smell.

Dry Down
Smooth, powerful and unforgettable. Oud, amber, musk, vanilla, guaiac wood and incense melt into a deep resinous trail that lasts for hours. It smells expensive, rebellious and intensely charismatic.

Oud Paradisio unveils itself: a fragrance at once powerful, captivating, opulent, and audacious. Dominating with majesty is a dark, enveloping oud wood. At the top, the fresh, citrusy brightness of bergamot is enlivened by the juicy, succulent sweetness of frosted pineapple, while a subtle veil of incense and saffron whispers through the composition.
The exquisite floral heart unfolds as a precious trio of roses, two essences 01 and an absolute 02, imbuing the composition with elegance and depth. The warm base marries shadowy oud with cocoa, creating an arrangement rich in intensity and sumptuous voluptuousness. Sensuality blossoms among a woody warmth, nuanced with subtle restraint. Its assertive character is sculpted by the animalic accents revealed through the potent olfactory presence of oud essence. Complex and surprising, Oud Paradisio is a nocturnal perfume steeped in mystery.

The Story

Gothic, powdery and smoke-tinged, a night flight toward the flame. Zoologist Moth opens with a heavy dose of dark spices, settles into honeyed rose and powdery florals, and trails away over oud, guaiac wood, nagarmotha and smoke. Perfumer Tomoo Inaba composed it for Zoologist Perfumes, which released it in 2018.

The Story

Their days are spent secluded in camouflage, the intricate patterns of their wings disguising them against a coarse backdrop of bark and rock. When they finally stir, even their flight is concealed beneath the cover of night. Moonlight ripples off a delicate coating of tiny hairs as feathered antennae guide them in search of a mate, yet one temptation can lure them from their quest: should they succumb to the flame, the urge to procreate may be quashed in a wisp of smoke and a smattering of ashes. At first encounter, the rich, gothic scent of Zoologist Moth may surprise, but soon it hypnotizes. A heavy dose of dark spices jolts the senses before settling into a dusting of honey-sweet rose and powdery florals, then takes flight on an exotic journey of nagarmotha, guaiac wood and patchouli, with a smoky undertone that reminds you of the danger within the tantalizing flame.

How It Smells

Opening
Black pepper, cinnamon, clove, cumin, nutmeg and saffron sharpen a bright lemon top.

Heart
Rose, iris, heliotrope, jasmine, mimosa and muguet form a dry, powdery floral heart sweetened with honey.

Dry Down
Oud, guaiac wood, nagarmotha, patchouli, vetiver and resins sit over ambergris and musk, with smoke drifting through.

Unbridled luxury, saddled with smoke and spice. Oud Stallion by Maison Crivelli is a bold, sensual extrait in which fiery saffron, warm cardamom and velvety Turkish rose meet smoky leather, precious oud and creamy roasted tonka. Powerful elegance with a wild streak, it is refined rather than harsh from the very first spray.

The Story

Maison Crivelli, the French house founded by Thibaud Crivelli, builds this extrait from natural materials of the ORPUR label, a selection of fine ingredients from the Givaudan perfume house, including Indian cardamom absolute, Turkish rose absolute, Indonesian nutmeg and patchouli, Moroccan cedarwood and Venezuelan tonka bean absolute. The house presents it as inspired by a memory of smelling oud at a horse race.

How It Smells

Opening
Bold, spicy and immediately commanding: saffron, cardamom and Indonesian nutmeg arrive together, like exotic spices carried through crisp air at full speed.

Heart
Jasmine, osmanthus and Turkish rose bloom through the spice, lending a velvety floral elegance before the darker base rises.

Dry Down
Dark, smooth and long-lasting. Oud wood, smoky leather, cedar, patchouli and tonka settle into a luxurious, slightly wild cloud, well suited to evenings and cooler weather.
