Oud Blanc

Oud Blanc from Van Cleef & Arpels, created by Anne Flipo in 2020, is a soft, clean oud wrapped in white musk. Musk leads, with sweet, woody, fresh, floral and ambery facets in equal support.

Its notes are listed as one blend. Aldehydes give a bright, soapy, airy shimmer, and rose a soft floral note. Agarwood brings a smooth, resinous woodiness, here kept light and polished rather than dark. Incense adds a dry, gentle smoke, vanilla a creamy sweetness, and white musk and musk a clean, skin-like softness that gives the scent its white, cloud-like character.

Worn by anyone, its clean, soft take on oud suits daytime wear, the office and the cooler months. It will appeal to someone curious about oud but put off by heavier styles, and who wants a refined, comforting musk with a quiet woody depth.
