Essence N°4: Oud (EDP)

"Essence N°4: Oud is a dark, minimalist unisex Eau de Parfum centered on the contrast between black pepper, warm benzoin, and oud. The opening is dry and incisively spicy, giving the fragrance an immediate sense of intensity. Benzoin adds a balsamic warmth that softens the sharper pepper facet without making the composition sweet or gourmand. Oud and agarwood form the enduring core, creating a woody, resinous, and slightly medicinal character. The structure is notably linear, with the oud becoming increasingly dominant as the fragrance develops. Its restrained formula gives it an elegant, niche-leaning character distinct from sweeter designer oud fragrances."
