The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Oud Ulya by Amouage was launched in 2021 and crafted by perfumer Cécile Zarokian. This Oriental Woody fragrance is a proof of the brand’s heritage of blending traditional Middle Eastern ingredients with modern perfumery techniques. Oud Ulya opens with smoky oud, which seamlessly transitions into a heart of leather and animalic notes, creating an intriguing contrast that balances richness with depth. The base notes of musky vanilla and powdery woods add warmth and comfort, making it a fragrance that feels both luxurious and intimate.

How to wear it

Apply Oud Ulya to pulse points for a deeper experience. The smoky and leathery notes develop over time, so let it settle on your skin before venturing out. It’s best suited for evenings or cooler weather when its rich base notes can fully unfold.
