Intense Oud
What Intense Oud smells like
Resinous frankincense and smooth, animalic oud, evoking a gilded, shadowed ballroom, for a formal, commanding entrance.
Feels like
Smoke curling from ancient frankincense resin on hot coals · A leather-bound book with pages stained by saffron and dried rose petals · The polished wood of an antique desk, with a hint of dried fruit · Warm skin wrapped in a fine cashmere shawl · A distant, sweet raspberry note carried on a cool evening breeze · The soft, lingering scent of a powdery, animalic musk
