Oud’s complex fragrance is a perfume on its own. It can smell completely different depending on geography, distillation, age of the resinous material and species of tree. A’Oud Ancienne is the first in a series of three oud fragrances from Rogue Perfumery. Manuel utilises Assam agarwood, oud from trees in the Assam area, specifically aquilaria agallocha, to create an all-round oud profile as an introduction. It showcases the experience of a fine oud oil and represents how it would have been used thousands of years ago when oud chips were placed upon coals and the enigmatic scent would rise from braziers. A’Oud Ancienne is a small batch artisanal oud with a story to tell that may challenge the wearer to describe and appreciate its unique qualities.

Scent notes: Agarwood Assam, Blue Cypress, Labdanum, Castoreum, Amyris, Bitter Almond, Ylang and Oakmoss.
Olfactive profile: Deep, Woody, Animalic.
