OudWoody Chypre Eau de Parfum

Oud by Spirit of Dubai is an oriental woody chypre eau de parfum, unisex, created by Asghar Adam Ali. The house describes it as follows: a mystical blend of incense, fresh wood, orchid, lily of the valley, rose, leather, tobacco and pure Indian natural agarwood.

The price is explained by a single ingredient

The base contains pure Indian natural agarwood — not a synthetic accord, not a reconstituted oud. It is the most expensive ingredient in perfumery, and this is what makes Oud the highest reference in our entire catalog.

An opening of pineapple, lime, rehan, pear, saffron, fresh woody note, bitter almond, fruity notes, black pepper, cardamom, Damask rose, bergamot, lavender, incense, cypriol and osmanthus

The opening brings together juicy fruits with incense and smoky cypriol. Rehan is the sacred basil of the Arab world, bitter almond brings the nuttiness.

A heart of orchid, lily of the valley, balsamic notes, myrrh, smoky olibanum, guaiac, earthy notes, red rose, jasmine, violet, geranium, rose and amberwood

The heart lays a complete bouquet on a base of resins — myrrh, smoky olibanum, balsamic notes — and earth. It is the most liturgical passage of the composition.

A base of ambergris, sandalwood, cedar, musk, leather, tobacco, vanilla, oakmoss, benzoin, vetiver, patchouli and Indian natural agarwood

The base brings together fourteen ingredients around agarwood: ambergris, two woods, leather, tobacco, oakmoss which gives the chypre facet. The sillage lasts an entire day.

The house's signature

Asghar Adam Ali, master perfumer and honorary president of the house, founded Nabeel Perfumes at sixteen and settled in the Emirates in 1990. He also created Shumukh, recognized by the Guinness World Records as the most expensive perfume in the world — this relationship with rare ingredients is constant in his work.

For whom, for what occasions?

Woody, chypre and oriental, Oud is for those seeking natural agarwood rather than an oud accord. A unisex eau de parfum for special occasions and the cold season.
