Gambling by The House of Oud, launched in 2023 and crafted by perfumer Maurizio Cerizza, is a Woody fragrance that embodies the tension between risk and reward. Opening with a bold combination of whiskey and Sichuan pepper, it immediately captures the edge-of-your-seat excitement often associated with gambling. As the composition evolves, bergamot and coffee add a fresh, aromatic layer, while elemi resin and galbanum bring a green, earthy quality that grounds the scent. The base notes of vetiver, cedar, and guaiac wood create a woody depth, while ambrette and benzoin lend warmth and sensuality.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance in light layers — its bold opening can be potent. Allow it time to develop on skin before adding more sprays if needed. It pairs well with cooler evenings and intimate settings.

The story behind the bottle.
The clink of glasses and the soft murmur of conversations in a dimly lit bar, where whiskey notes blend with spicy undertones to create an atmosphere of intrigue.
