What makes Arbor Oud an OLFx fragrance?

Arbor Oud is an Extrait de Parfum made and sold as an OLFx composition. We built it around the cardamom, oud, and sandalwood character shoppers associate with Oud Wood, with the 50 ml spray as the main format and the oil kept as a separate product. Choose the 50 ml spray for the complete spray experience.

What does Arbor Oud smell like?

Arbor Oud is built around cardamom, rosewood, oud, sandalwood, and tonka bean. The opening reads warm and peppery, the way ground cardamom smells right after the pod cracks open — dry and aromatic before it settles. Rosewood follows, moving the profile toward fresh-cut, pale wood. The oud sits underneath rather than announcing itself: dark, resinous wood warmed on a low flame rather than barnyard-sharp. Sandalwood fills the middle with a creamy texture, the kind that coats your palm after you rub a wood block between your hands. Tonka bean closes the sequence with a soft, hay-like sweetness. Worn together, the effect sits closer to a warm room lined in wood panels than to a garden — dry and grounded rather than sweet or bright.

Why is Arbor Oud worth choosing?

Arbor Oud is the closest match in our range to the verified character of Oud Wood.

• Extrait de Parfum. The richest fragrance form we make.

What do wearers love about Oud Wood?

Arbor Oud is built around the same cardamom-and-sandalwood character that wearers praise most often in Oud Wood. One wearer describes falling for it slowly, warming to it and saving up for a full bottle of their own. Another calls it the best western-style oud they have found, sophisticated enough to wear on its own. A third treats the cardamom opening as the reason they keep reaching for the bottle. Among the top 213 reviews, woody language appears in 23.9%, sweet in 11.3%, and cardamom in 10.8%. That character is what we built Arbor Oud around.
