The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016, L'Autre Oud by Lancôme is a bold and complex fragrance created by Christophe Raynaud and Ilias Ermenidis. This Oriental Woody scent opens with the rich warmth of oud and rose, creating an immediate sense of depth and sophistication. The heart introduces fresh and warm spices that add complexity to the composition, while the base notes of amber and earthy accords ground the fragrance with a metallic undertone. L'Autre Oud stands as a proof of Lancôme's heritage in blending classic elegance with contemporary flair.
This fragrance requires a light hand initially — the oud and spicy notes project well. Give it time to settle into your skin; the base notes bloom gradually over two hours, so layering is not necessary.

Christophe Raynaud
Architect first, craftsman secondChristophe Raynaud is a perfumer who describes himself as a craftsman with the sensitivity of an artist. He begins each fragrance with a raw olfactory block, working for hours to shape it as a sculptor would — first as architect, then as craftsman.
“At first, I am the architect, and then I become the craftsman.”
