About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
Black Oud by Kilian (2014) opens with a brisk, spicy rose: geranium and pink pepper add a metallic edge, cardamom a dry warmth. The heart turns woody and smoky with papyrus, patchouli, and cedar, while methyl pamplemousse lends a subtle grapefruit-like lift. The base is a dense, resinous oud accord, amplified by incense, moss, sandalwood, musk, and labdanum, creating a dark, earthy, and animalic finish.
This unisex oriental suits collectors who appreciate a dry, woody oud without sweetness. Its strong projection and longevity make it ideal for evening wear or cool weather. Those who enjoy rose-oud combinations with a smoky, mossy backbone will find it compelling, though it may overwhelm in close quarters. A serious, contemplative fragrance for confident wearers.
中文簡介
Black Oud 以玫瑰與天竺葵的辛香開場，粉紅胡椒與小荳蔻添上乾燥暖意。中調轉為木質與煙燻，紙莎草、廣藿香與雪松交織，甲基葡萄柚帶來微妙的清新感。基調是濃郁的沉香，輔以乳香、苔蘚、檀香、麝香與勞丹脂，散發出深沉、泥土與動物性的氣息。
這款中性東方調適合追求乾爽木質沉香、不喜甜膩的收藏家。其強勁的擴散與持香力，適合晚間或涼爽天氣使用。喜歡玫瑰沉香組合、帶煙燻苔蘚底韻的人會覺得迷人，但在密閉空間可能過於濃烈。適合自信、沉穩的用香者。
