The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2019 by Narciso Rodriguez, Oud Musc is a creation by perfumer Caroline Sabas that marries the earthy depth of oud with the enveloping warmth of musk. The composition opens with fresh and spicy notes that cut through the richness of the base, creating a tension between freshness and warmth. Aromatic and powdery undertones add complexity, while floral accents lend a subtle sweetness.

How to wear it

Apply Oud Musc with two sprays to ensure the base notes have time to develop. It reads best close to skin, so layer it on pulse points for a lingering effect throughout the day.
