Amandine Clerc-Marie

"Precious Oud is a unisex Eau de Parfum from Van Cleef & Arpels' Collection Extraordinaire, launched in 2011. It presents oud within a soft amber-floral framework rather than as a stark, aggressively animalic oud composition. Pink pepper and bergamot provide a bright, gently spicy opening. Tuberose, incense, and jasmine create a creamy, floral heart with a warm resinous character. The drydown combines agarwood, sandalwood, patchouli, ambergris, and vetiver into a smooth, woody base. Its overall character is elegant, sweet, warm, cozy, and sensual, with the oud effect remaining subtle and integrated."

Reviews Summary

“Precious Oud is generally viewed as soft, sweet, warm, cozy, comforting, and sensual. Its floral amber structure is admired for its elegance, but opinions are divided on the oud itself: the oud effect is smooth and understated rather than especially realistic, powerful, or pronounced.”
