About This Perfume
Black Oud by By Kilian is a Oriental fragrance for women and men. Black Oud was launched in 2014. Top notes are Rose, Geranium, Cardamom and Pink Pepper; middle notes are Papyrus, Patchouli, Cedar and Methyl Pamplemousse; base notes are Agarwood (Oud), Incense, Moss, Sandalwood, Musk and Labdanum. By Kilian launches three new versions of the fragrance joining the collection Arabian Nights, initiated in 2009 with Pure Oud. The fragrances have been introduced exclusively at the Harrods Salon de Parfums, and arrive in 50ml refillable flacons. Gold Oud, Extreme Oud and Black Oud are not the only three editions launched this year. They were preceded by Eternal Oud, in the same flacon form and luxurious outer carton with the upper plate in golden color and Arabic calligraphy engraving. Black Oud is enhanced Incense Oud with a strong dose of natural oils from Thailand.
The verdict
Best for
By Kilian was founded in 2007 by Kilian Hennessy (of the Hennessy cognac family) and now belongs to Estée Lauder Companies; the house is defined by lacquered refillable bottles and a heavy gourmand-oriental catalogue that leans cognac, vanilla, tobacco and rose. Scendira lists 125 Kilian fragrances with 43 in stock, priced $9 to $460. The lean is gourmand-unisex, Angels' Share and its "On The Rocks" variant are the modern anchors. Community's top five in stock: Angel's Share On The Rocks (citrus-cinnamon cognac amber, 2025), Musk Oud (oud incense rose, 2013), Angels' Share (cognac cinnamon vanilla, 2020), Princess (marshmallow-tea, 2022) and Smoking Hot (tobacco-vanilla, 2023). If you want the house at its most-loved: Angels' Share is the flagship, Good Girl Gone Bad (florals) is the biggest feminine, Black Phantom is the gourmand-dark tent-pole.
