Exotic Oud

Exotic Oud, released by Gulf Orchid in 2025, is a sweet, fruity oud. Gourmand sweetness leads, wood follows, and lighter spice, flowers, amber and leather add depth and contrast.

The opening is juicy and bright: raspberry gives a tart, jammy fruitiness, and passionfruit adds a tropical, tangy sweetness. Saffron soon brings a leathery, honeyed spice, and rose adds a velvety floral note that pairs naturally with oud. Coffee introduces a roasted, slightly bitter warmth. The base is darker and richer, with oud offering a smoky, resinous woodiness, leather a smooth, animalic note, and incense and vanilla giving a warm, sweet glow.

Worn by anyone, it is bold and sociable, best suited to evenings, dinners and colder weather. Those who like oud fragrances softened by fruit and sweetness, rather than presented raw and smoky, should find it approachable and fun to wear.
