Blue Oud

Blue Oud is a sweet, spiced wood from Lattafa Perfumes, released in 2018 for anyone to wear. People describe it as spicy, gourmand and woody in equal measure, and a minority also find it floral, ambery or citrusy.

Apple, bergamot and a general fruity sweetness open it, juicy and bright, while black pepper and saffron add a warm, slightly leathery spice from the start. Sage lends a dry herbal note, and jasmine a soft floral touch in the heart. The base is where the oud appears, woody and lightly smoky rather than medicinal, alongside guaiac wood for a sweet, smoky warmth and sandalwood for creaminess. Ambergris and musk give the finish a salty, soft warmth that keeps everything close to the skin.

It is a cool-weather scent for evenings, sweet and warm with the oud kept in a supporting role, and it suits anyone curious about oud who prefers an approachable, fruity version. Those who enjoy saffron and apple over soft woods will find it comfortable.
