Versace Oud Noir Eau de Parfum

Product Information

Versace Oud Noir is a modern, masculine oud that smells like the more affordable cousin of Tom Ford’s Oud Wood. This scent is often compared to Tom Ford Oud Wood but honestly I think this one is much better than the Tom Ford. Additionally6, a nonspecific woodsy undertone emerges after while, which fits in nicely with the rest. The oud is blatantly synthetic, restrained and lacks any sharpness or crassness - an unobtrusive oud. The exception, is the little bit at the start, but mostly just seems like more or less a non-descript "woody" smell in general to my nose.

Characteristic of all Ropion’s fragrances, the excessive dosage of such a powerful ingredient as oud is balanced with minutely measured amounts of more subtle accords. Oud assam, with its leathery, spicy and woody accents, sits front and centre, complimented by a hint of rose, raspberry and rosat geranium, before drying down into trail of benzoin and smoky black incense. Not the chemical, sometimes harsh shade you sometimes get with oud, but a spicy, nose-tingling peppery opening. A constant bestseller within the range and a softer (more French) take on one of the rarest and oldest essences used in perfumery.Donatella Versace personally oversees the brand's fragrances and reinforces the heritage of the brand through fearless design. The opening is all peppery woods and smoke, a really nice kind of somehow clean and fresh smoky oud, in spite of how contradictory that might sound. After the bitter orange opening goes away and it starts to transition into the drydown, this sweetens up a bit. Versace pour Homme Oud Noir is a favorite of mine, and it may have entered discontinued status just recently and it's availability may start waning. Combining the almost sacrilegious oud wood with exotic rosewood, cardamom, Chinese pepper, sandalwood, vetiver, tonka bean, vanilla and amber, it has set an industry standard and in turn, become a bestseller.

Always innovative and working with renowned master perfumers each creation is a work of art in its own right. Versace oud noir is for me possibly the best designer oriental fragrance out there at the moment in 2018, with regards to the performance issues of current ysl la nuit and the oriental genre being unpopular at the moment. A gender-neutral, power ballad of a scent, it blends the luminous and tender facets of rosa damascena essence with the potency of oud from Laos and the resinous, amber-tinged properties of labdanum absolute. Many perfumers in the West are now using it as a base to create incredible fragrances for men and women.A potent blend of amber and rose with a soft oud edge, it is brooding and hauntingly beautiful; a rich tapestry of complex and extravagant depths. I think this was simply outside the realm of Versace mass marketed crowd pleaser hype fragrances like Eros and Dylan Blue and that makes it the 'black sheep' from Versace.

An oud unlike any other; Oud Eclat, turns this mesmerising but often polarising perfumery ingredient on its head.Bulgarian rose, palao oud, Indian cypriol and sandalwood from Sri Lanka form the structure of the fragrance, which is softened and sweetened by Somalian oilbanum, Madagascan vanilla, Spanish cistus and patchouli from Indonesia. Fusing Eastern opulence with Western refinement, Thameen’s Treasure Collection looks towards the world’s most iconic jewels for its inspiration. Combined with North African papyrus, Afghani saffron and Bulgarian rose, it offers a very “Brooklyn” (read: hipster) take on this most coveted ingredient in fragrance. Elegantly blended, Versace Oud Noir is a good intro to the beauty of agarwood as it is a mellower and less aggressive version of oud that you often find. With recent campaign stars including Bella Hadid, Gigi Hadid and Hailey Bieber the glamour stakes couldn’t get much higher!
