  • Raspberry

Heart

  • IncenseDry aromatic smoke, closer to bakhoor or resin than cigarette smoke.
  • RoseFloral rose tone that can read fresh, jammy, powdery, or oud-rich depending on the base.
  • Cypriol

Base

  • Patchouli
  • OudDeep woody warmth, like polished dark wood with a smoky edge.
  • AmberWarm resin sweetness, like golden warmth rather than fresh citrus.

Layering

  • - Layer Oud Noir with clean musk only in small amounts; heavier amber can make its spicy notes side too dense indoors.
