Oud Intense

Oud Intense is inspired by Gucci Oud Intense.

Oud Intense – Fragrance Character

Primary Note

• Oud (Agarwood) – the star of the show. In “Oud Intense,” it’s often smoky, animalic, resinous, or even slightly medicinal. This is oud at full strength—bold, unfiltered, and uncompromising.

Supporting Notes (varies by house, but commonly includes):

• Leather – adds depth, darkness, and a touch of rugged sensuality

• Incense or Frankincense – dry, smoky, and spiritual, enhancing oud’s mystique

• Saffron – warm and spicy with a slight leathery nuance, often used in high-end oud blends

• Rose or Jasmine – a floral contrast to soften and sweeten the smoky core

• Amber, Labdanum, or Benzoin – give richness and balsamic warmth

• Sandalwood or Patchouli – round out the base with creamy or earthy tones

Scent Profile

• Type: Woody Oriental / Leather / Balsamic

• Projection: Bold – this is a statement-maker

• Longevity: 10–14+ hours – often lingering well into the next day

• Season: Best in fall and winter, or evenings in warm climates

• Occasion: Evening wear, ceremonial events, or when you want to exude authority and mystique
