Colonia Oud by Acqua di Parma, released in 2012 and composed by François Demachy, sets the brand's citrus cologne style against a smoky woody base. Wood dominates, with citrus in second place and lighter spicy, musky and leather touches.

It opens with Calabrian bergamot and Italian orange, a bright, classic cologne freshness. The heart brings coriander's peppery spice and agarwood, which adds a dry, smoky, slightly medicinal depth, while amyris lends a soft, balsamic woodiness. In the base, patchouli leaf adds an earthy note, Atlas cedar dry woodiness, leather a smooth hide-like texture, and sandalwood with musk a creamy, clean finish.

Most wearers find it long lasting, with a moderate trail that some describe as strong. Votes favour autumn and winter and lean towards the evening. Colonia Oud suits someone who wants an approachable introduction to oud, with a familiar citrus start, for smart occasions, dinners and cooler days.

Colonia Oud — for men fragrance by Acqua di Parma (released 2012). Top notes: Calabrian bergamot, Italian Orange. Heart notes: Agarwood (Oud), Amyris, Coriander. Base notes: Leather, Atlas Cedar, Sandalwood, Musk, Indonesian Patchouli Leaf. — Parfica open fragrance database
