Caramel Oud

Despite the name, Caramel Oud from Ard Al Zaafaran reads mainly as a sweet, fruity white floral. Released in 2024 and worn by anyone, it is described as floral by everyone; about half also call it sweet and woody, and a quarter find it musky, ambery or citrusy.

The listed notes do not include caramel or oud as such. Instead, mandarin orange, pear and pineapple give a juicy, tropical opening with a good deal of natural sweetness. Jasmine, jasmine sambac, gardenia and magnolia form a lush, creamy floral heart. Sandalwood, cashmeran and amber supply a soft, slightly musky woodiness that gives the impression of warmth people associate with oud, while musk smooths the finish.

Wear reports are not yet in. On character it is a warm-weather and evening scent, generous and feminine-leaning in its florals but sweet and smooth enough to be shared. It is sold in a large bottle.
