The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2023, Oud Or by Houbigant is a sophisticated Oriental Woody fragrance created by perfumers Antoine Lie and Luca Maffei. The composition begins with raspberry and rose, leading to an array of warm spices like saffron and geranium, before settling into the rich depths of oud, patchouli, and guaiac wood. Iso E Super and cashmeran add a modern twist, while vanilla rounds out the base for a comforting finish.

How to wear it

Given its long-lasting nature, one to two sprays is sufficient. The fragrance blooms slowly over time, so it’s best applied ahead of your activities. It reads well close to skin rather than across a room, making it ideal for intimate settings or a day at the office.
