The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2012 by Christophe Raynaud for Lancôme, L’Autre Oud Eau de Parfum is a woody oriental fragrance that marries rich oud with warm spices and earthy accords. The composition opens with saffron and cypriol oil, which add an aromatic and slightly spicy character to the scent. As it develops, Turkish rose and Bulgarian rose create a floral heart that contrasts beautifully against the deep, smoky undertones of agarwood (oud). The base notes, including guaiac wood, myrrh, and patchouli, anchor the fragrance with earthy warmth and balsamic richness.
This fragrance is best applied lightly — the richness of the base notes means it builds gradually on skin. One or two sprays will ensure that the warm spices and earthy tones bloom throughout the day without overpowering.
