The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2012 by Le Labo and crafted by perfumer Vincent Schaller, Oud 27 Perfume Oil is an Oriental Woody fragrance that embodies a complex blend of warm spices, smoky oud, and balsamic richness. The composition opens with a metallic note that adds an unexpected edge before transitioning to the heart of patchouli and leather. This contrast creates a dynamic tension between the earthy warmth and the subtle smokiness, making it neither purely masculine nor feminine but rather unisex in its essence.

How to wear it

Apply Oud 27 in light layers — it blooms gradually over time. Given its rich, warm profile, it works best in cooler evenings or during transitional seasons when the air is crisp but not cold.
