The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2012 by Xerjoff, Oud Luban is a complex Oriental fragrance created by perfumer Chris Maurice. The composition opens with the sharp freshness of black pepper and Bulgarian rose before settling into an intricate heart of agarwood (oud), orange blossom, and incense. This interplay of spicy and floral notes creates a tension that is both intriguing and warm, while vetiver and cedar in the base add depth and smokiness.
Oud Luban's smoky base notes take time to develop fully, so give it at least an hour before you notice its full depth. Apply a few sprays to pulse points for a lasting effect that evolves throughout the day.
