Warda Al Oud

Warda Al Oud from Xerjoff, composed by Chris Maurice in 2012, is a rose-led floral with oud, osmanthus and a soft, sweet base. Floral is the dominant impression for everyone who describes it, while a minority also notice sweetness, wood, musk, amber and citrus.

Bergamot opens it with a light, bright citrus lift. The heart is rose in its richest forms: Bulgarian rose and Damask rose give a deep, velvety, honeyed petal note, joined by jasmine's sunny radiance and osmanthus's apricot-like, suede-soft sweetness. The name means rose of oud, and agarwood runs beneath the flowers, adding a dark, resinous, slightly smoky depth without overwhelming them. Vanilla, amber and musk soften the base into a warm, smooth finish.

Unisex in spirit, it suits people who love rose and want oud as a supporting voice rather than the lead. The profile points to autumn and winter, evenings and special occasions, though the floral brightness lets it work on cooler days too. Those who enjoy rose-oud compositions in a refined, floral-forward style should find it a natural fit.
