Oud Musc

Oud Musc from Narciso Rodriguez, a 2019 creation by Caroline Sabas, is spicy and floral in equal parts, with woody and musky notes beneath. It takes the house's signature musk and pairs it with oud in a restrained, modern way.

Black pepper gives a dry, crackling spice from the outset, and myrtle adds a fresh, slightly camphorous green note. Floral notes and flowers bring a soft, abstract floral glow rather than any single bloom. Oud provides a deep, resinous and slightly smoky woodiness, and musk wraps it all in a clean, soft, skin-like veil that makes the oud feel smooth and approachable.

It is worn by anyone looking for an elegant, understated oud. The pepper and musk profile suits autumn and winter, evenings, the office in colder months and occasions where a polished, quiet scent is wanted. It should appeal to fans of musky fragrances who want something darker, and to people curious about oud who find traditional versions too heavy.
