Rose Oud

Rose Oud by Monotheme Venezia balances woods and flowers equally, with resin, amber and citrus in support. It was released in 2013 and is worn by anyone.

Lemon opens it with a short, bright citrus lift, and elemi adds a fresh, peppery resin. Rose comes in quickly, full and velvety, with geranium giving it a fresher, slightly minty green edge. Agarwood (oud) forms the woody core, dark, resinous and slightly smoky, the classic partner for rose. Patchouli adds an earthy depth, and amber a warm, golden glow that smooths the base.

Warm and rich, it fits autumn and winter, for evenings and occasions where a deep, enveloping scent feels right. As its name makes plain, this is a straightforward take on the rose-and-oud pairing, and it is a sensible starting point for someone curious about that style who wants it clear and well balanced rather than overly smoky or medicinal. It works for anyone, regardless of gender.
