Launched in 2017 by The House of Oud, Empathy is crafted by Andrea (Thero) Casotti and offers a distinctive blend of fruity sweetness and woody depth. It opens with the vibrant freshness of Raspberry Bloom and Pear Blossom, creating an immediate sense of warmth and approachability. This bright start gives way to Tobacco and Woody Notes, including Agarwood (Oud), which lend a rich, smoky complexity that grounds the composition. The base notes of Spruce and Musk add an earthy, enveloping quality, making Empathy both intimate and expansive.

Application Tips
Apply Empathy in moderation as its fruity top notes are bright but fleeting. The tobacco and oud base notes emerge more prominently over time, so one or two sprays will suffice for all-day wear.
