The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Oud Couture by Carolina Herrera was launched in 2015 and crafted by perfumers Nathalie Feisthauer and Pierre-Constantin Guéros. This Oriental Floral fragrance opens with a fresh spicy accord that contrasts beautifully with the rich and deep oud at its core. The rose adds an elegant floral touch, while the powdery base creates a warm, comforting finish. Oud Couture is a sophisticated blend that embodies the lasting elegance for which Carolina Herrera is renowned.

How to wear it

Two sprays to the pulse points will allow Oud Couture's complex layers to unfold gradually. The spicy top notes are fleeting but impactful; give it time for the warm oud and powdery base to come through, creating a subtle yet lasting presence.
