Launched in 2019, Oud Eau de Parfum by Acqua di Parma offers a contemporary twist on the brand's signature elegance. The composition opens with bright notes of Calabrian bergamot and orange, creating an initial freshness that contrasts sharply with the deep richness of agarwood (oud). This oud is supported by leather, musk, and patchouli, adding layers of warmth and complexity. The interplay between these fresh and woody elements results in a fragrance that feels both modern and lasting.

Application Tips
Apply Oud Eau de Parfum to pulse points for a steady release throughout the day. The fragrance's rich base notes take about an hour to fully bloom, so a second application can be done after the initial spritz if you prefer more immediate warmth.
