Scent Experience
Exotic Oud starts with a juicy burst of passionfruit and raspberry that feels fresh and lively, accentuated by the warm spiciness of saffron. As the scent develops, a bold floral heart of rose and coffee melds with incense’s resinous depth. The dry down reveals a rich interplay of oud and leather softened by vanilla, giving a luxurious and slightly sweet finish that lingers for hours.
This composition makes Exotic Oud a bold, daring and memorable scent, ideal for those who enjoy oud fragrances with a fruity twist and a warm, leathery base.
