Black Oud

Black Oud from Monotheme Venezia is a woody, spicy fragrance released in 2013 and worn by anyone. Woods dominate, with a strong spicy layer and lighter musky, floral, ambery and citrus touches.

Citrus notes give a brief bright lift before the spice takes over: cloves, pimento and paprika bring a warm, peppery, slightly smoky heat. Geranium adds a rosy, green floral touch, and heliotrope a soft, almond-like powderiness. In the base, oud lends a dark, smoky woodiness, labdanum a rich, resinous warmth, and amber a golden sweetness, while other woody notes keep the structure dry.

This is a dense, warm scent suited to autumn and winter, evenings and occasions where a bold fragrance feels right. The spice and oud give it an intense character, so a light application is wise. It suits those who enjoy smoky oud fragrances with a spicy, resinous edge and a soft, powdery heart.
