The fragrance features Oud, Leather and Rose. Oud Essentiel is a homage to the most sumptuous facets of oud wood. This fragrance reveals the strength and depth of oud wood, complemented by smooth rose notes and mysterious leather notes. Part of the Absolus Allegoria collection, it captures the deep and powerful nature of twilight.

Questions about Oud Essentiel

Does Oud Essentiel last in the heat?
Our estimate from its composition, until enough readers vote: longevity “long lasting”, and it suits hot, dry weather and cold weather.
What is a cheaper alternative to Oud Essentiel?
Shops sell «عطر 233» as an alternative to it, for SAR 85. That is the shop’s claim; we do not judge how alike they smell. All alternatives to Oud Essentiel.
Who is Oud Essentiel for, and in which season?
The house makes it for men and women. From its accords, we estimate it is best in autumn and winter.
