Oud Essence
The note presents a multifaceted olfactory profile, initially striking with a resinous, intensely woody character that gradually unfolds to reveal nuances of smoky leather, balsamic sweetness, and a hint of barnyard-like animalic warmth. It boasts a dry, almost astringent quality, balanced by a smooth, velvety texture. Its projection is powerful, radiating outward with authority, while its longevity is exceptional, lingering on the skin for hours, evolving from a bold opening to a softer, more intimate drydown. Depending on origin, it can also possess facets of medicinal camphor or sweet honey. It behaves primarily as a base note, providing depth, complexity, and tenacity to a composition.
