Oud Tabac

There are fragrances you wear. Oud Tabac, you choose.

— The opening is dry and spiced: ginger, saffron, coriander. Then the heliotrope arrives, that flower which smells of almond and vanilla, almost of cake batter, and the saffron softens all at once.

— The heart is the real subject. Pipe tobacco — not the acridity of a cigarette, but the dried, honeyed leaf of a tobacco pouch still closed. Oud. And olibanum, the incense you recognise before you can even name it.

— The base warms everything: Bourbon vanilla, Alaskan cedar, labdanum — a Mediterranean resin that holds something of leather and of honey — and musk.

An autumn and winter fragrance, for late in the day. Unisex, with a masculine leaning.

The tobacco-oud register leaves nobody indifferent. For anyone who loves it, it is a rare construction.

Eau de parfum. Two sprays.

Oud After Dark is the most accomplished of the Amourouds, and the one with the richest composition — fourteen materials announced.

— The opening is fruity and spiced: pepper, saffron, osmanthus, apricot and carnation. Osmanthus is a small Chinese flower that smells of both apricot and leather — one of the most expensive and most interesting materials in perfumery. With the apricot beside it, the effect is doubled.

— The heart is dark and velvety: rare oud, olibanum, purple plum, suede and Turkish rose. Suede is the reversed leather — soft, powdery, with no rough edges. The plum brings the candied fruit that keeps the oud from being austere.

— The base is warm and long: ebony wood, Virginia tobacco, amber, vanilla orchid and musk. Virginia tobacco is softer and sweeter than the pipe tobacco of Oud Tabac.

An autumn and winter fragrance, for the evening, unisex with a masculine leaning. Two sprays.

Elixir La Rose Noire belongs to Amouroud's Elixir collection, the house's most concentrated line — these are extraits de parfum, not eaux de parfum. That is what justifies a 75 ml bottle at the price of a 100 ml elsewhere.

Its olfactive pyramid is published nowhere: neither on the house's own site, nor at the specialist distributors. All the resellers say about it is that it “travels the idea of a dark rose”.
