UDV

UDV from Ulric de Varens is an aromatic masculine from 1993, herbal and green above all, with wood and citrus noted by about two thirds of those who describe it and a lighter musky, floral undertone.

The opening is cool and sharp: mint and lemon for brightness, tangerine for a softer citrus, and artemisia with sage for a bitter, herbal snap. The heart leans further into greenery, rosemary and galbanum giving it a crushed-leaf quality while vetiver adds an earthy dryness. The base turns quieter and warmer, musk and patchouli smoothing things out with a trace of oakmoss and jasmine for depth.

Most wearers report moderate longevity, and some find it long lasting; sillage is mostly moderate, occasionally intimate. It is voted mainly for autumn and winter and is split almost evenly between day and night. That points to a classic, understated aromatic for cooler months, the sort of fragrance worn out of habit rather than for effect.
