Oud is THE HOTTEST perfume ingredient of the moment. Byredo introduces new Eau de Perfumes, Oud Immortel and Accord Oud.
They are both created around Oud, a certain type of wood that because of its use in traditional incense and perfume has gained great cultural significance.
The founder and creator ‘ Ben Gorham’ explains:
“I had smelled Oud in India and the Middle East and was amazed by its powerful and unique character. For once I wanted to focus entirely on the raw materials itself and the objective was to create one fragrance to capture the characteristic of Oud.”
I would describe OUD IMMORTEL as a woody fragrance. The tobacco leaves and moss add depth, while incense and rosewood bring elegance.
