Under Oud combines dark fruitiness with a distinct wood and spice structure. Plum provides a deep fruity facet, while pepper, sage, and incense add spice and aromatic warmth.
Saffron meets fir balsam, Siberian fir, patchouli, cedar, vetiver, and sandalwood. This unusually broad wood structure gives the fragrance a resinous and partially smoky effect.
The base features oud and guaiac wood alongside benzoin, tonka bean, and vanilla. Musk as well as other animalic and mossy elements provide additional depth. The sweeter components round off the many dry and woody notes.
Under Oud feels powerful, woody, and oriental. The plum provides a dark fruity accent, but woods, saffron, and oud remain crucial to the overall character.
