Oud London

Oud London – The Urban Oud of Refined Darkness

Oud London is a contemporary oud attar that fuses classic Middle-Eastern richness with a metropolitan, cosmopolitan twist. It marries smoky, resinous agarwood with warm spices, soft florals and a creamy woody/amber base — a modern oriental built to feel both elegant and striking. Different houses interpret “London Oud” in their own way, but the core idea is oud reimagined through urbane, spiced, and slightly floral facets. 

Fragrance Profile & Ingredients:

• Top Notes: Bergamot / Citrus, Mint / Green Notes, Heliotrope/Iris — a bright or slightly green opening used by several maisons. 

• Heart Notes: Cardamom, Cinnamon, Jasmine / White Florals, Tobacco or Incense accents — spicy-floral and aromatic at the core. 

• Base Notes: Agarwood (Oud), Vanilla/Amber, Sandalwood / Cedar, Musk — a warm, resinous, woody foundation that holds the composition together. 

Longevity & Performance:

Oud London formulations (EDP/attar variants) are designed for persistence — expect long wear typical of oud blends (commonly 10–18 hours on skin with much longer persistence on clothing), with pronounced projection in the early hours that softens to a rich oud-amber drydown. Product listings and vendor pages describe it as long-lasting and robust. 

Best Seasons & Occasions:

• Seasons: Best in Autumn and Winter (also excellent for cool evenings in Spring) where the spicy-oud heart and warm base feel most at home.

• Occasions: Ideal for evenings, formal events, nights out, and occasions when a confident, refined statement is wanted.

Gender Recommendation:

Unisex, with a masculine-leaning feel due to its smoky oud and spice facets, yet perfectly wearable by anyone who appreciates bold, modern oud compositions.
