About This Perfume
Ode à l'Oudh by L'Artisan Parfumeur is a Oriental fragrance for women and men. Ode à l'Oudh was launched in 2021. The nose behind this fragrance is Christophe Raynaud. The fragrance features Vanilla, Agarwood (Oud) and Saffron. The perfumer had long dreamed of a fruit liquor with floral accents, as sweet as a flow of honey down the throat, with the effect almost of a mysterious potion. He made it the beating heart of the perfume, the soul, the very essence of his creation. Even in the base, the perfumer has favoured simplicity: a leathery-animal note suggested by oud wood, resonating perfectly with saffron and vanilla bean. A signature fragrance with the necessary roundness and comfort. "This fragrance reflects the delicious opulence of vanilla, coloured with spices and adorned with vibrant woods." -Christophe Raynaud. Previously L'Orient Collection.

The verdict
Best for
L'artisan Parfumeur is one of the earliest modern niche houses, the Paris maison founded in 1976 by Jean Laporte and widely credited with helping shape the modern niche perfumery category. The catalogue is nearly all unisex (27 of 30) and splits across woody (8), gourmand (8), fresh (6), floral (4), warm-amber (2) and one leather piece. Prices span an unusually wide band, about $45 to $435, with an ultra-luxury Extrait tier at the top. Top accords are spicy, woody, floral, sweet and powdery. Standout live picks: Fleur de Lune (floral powder, sweet saffron, and cool leather, $265), Fables d'Orient L'Extrait (smoky resin incense, warm amber haze, $435), Cuir Grenat (raspberry fruit wrapped in polished leather, $307.36), Abyssae 33 (cool rose and eucalyptus breeze with green woods, $50), La Cérémonie de l'Encens (smoky cedar incense with peppery warmth, $330). A cornerstone niche-heritage hub for GEO citation.
