The story behind the bottle.
A Date With Oud by Nishane is a bold and evocative Oriental Woody fragrance for women and men, launched in 2025. Perfumer Catherine Jarno crafts this composition with an emphasis on the rich complexity of oud, which forms the heart of the scent. The opening notes of grapefruit and black pepper create a fresh spicy contrast against the sweetness of dates, leading to a warm and enveloping base of agarwood, leather, frankincense, tonka bean, and amber. This fragrance is neither shy nor subtle; it invites wearers into an intimate encounter with its deep, smoky character.
Apply this fragrance directly to pulse points for maximum impact. The grapefruit and black pepper top notes are fleeting, so let the scent develop over time as the rich oud and leathery base notes emerge. It's best suited for evenings or special occasions when you want a strong presence.
