Another Oud

Another Oud was released in 2015 by Juliette Has A Gun, and its name pokes fun at the number of ouds already on shelves. Bergamot and raspberry open, an oud wood and norlimbanol hold the middle, ambroxan and musks close it out. The house sells it in a single size, one hundred milliliters at 160 euros, and credits it with strong projection.

Bergamot and raspberry at the opening, an oud wood in the middle, ambroxan in the base: Juliette Has A Gun announces a fruity woody musky character and a modern reading of the material.

An oud surrounded by fruit

Bergamot and raspberry open, fresh and juicy. Oud wood holds the middle alongside norlimbanol. Ambroxan and musks close the composition.

Norlimbanol, a molecule with no plant

The house places norlimbanol in the heart note, next to the oud wood: a synthetic molecule with a dry, powerful woody character, with no botanical equivalent, which the listed notes therefore do not carry.

A classification the house gives in three words

The fragrance's subtitle reads woody, fruity, intense; the family field reads fruity, woody, musky. The three words are the same, the order changes: woody prevails, and the retail copy repeats it.

What the label declares

Twelve entries: alcohol, fragrance, a synthetic woody molecule listed before water, a patchouli oil, a bergamot essence, rose ketones, and the regulated allergens — limonene, linalyl acetate, beta-caryophyllene, pinene, linalool.
