Perfumer Reveals Fragrance industry secrets (Part 3)
There's a dirty little secret about oud fragrances. This is part three of my deep dive into fragrance industry secrets. And today, we're talking about the lie that Westerners have been told about oud. If you think of fragrances like ombre no, oud maracuja, or oud good when somebody mentions oud, then I got bad news for you because you've never smelled oud before. Because what most better brands do when they make an oud fragrance is slap a bunch of screechy super ambers in there and call it a day. Now in the case of Ombre No, for example, there's a bunch of cypriol in there and maybe even a teeny tiny bit of natural oud from, like, an oud best, but it doesn't really matter because they've slapped a bunch of super ambers in there that just smother the whole darn thing. Now the tricky thing is that real oud has a lot of different scent profile because it's literally wood from the acular tier that's been infected by a fungus. And so depending on how long it's better aged for and where it was grown and all kinds of stuff, it smells very different. It can have spicy notes, tobacco, be medicinal, have a little bit of fruitiness in there, all kinds of stuff. And in many cases rank have a barnyardy or even poopy smell. So now you're probably thinking, okay, Teddy, what can I try that actually smells like real oud or has like a real oud note in it? So here are some examples that I really recommend checking out.
