The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2020 by Van Cleef & Arpels, Oud Blanc is a Woody fragrance for both women and men, crafted by perfumer Anne Flipo. This composition begins with the rich, smoky presence of oud, which contrasts beautifully with the sweet warmth of vanilla and amber. The powdery and musky base notes add depth, while balsamic accents bring an earthy, resinous character to the mix. Oud Blanc is a fragrance that balances boldness with comfort, making it as much at home in the office as it is on a quiet evening.
This fragrance blooms best when applied to pulse points and allowed a few minutes to settle. The smoky oud notes are strongest initially but give way to the warm base notes over time, so one or two sprays should be enough for lasting comfort.
