Versace pour Homme Oud Noir is an Eau de Parfum flanker of the masculine Versace pour Homme, launched by the Italian house in 2013 around oud wood. This spicy woody opens with bitter orange, neroli and black pepper, moves through a heart of cardamom, saffron and olibanum, and settles on oud, patchouli and leatherwood.
Bitter orange, neroli and black pepper
The top combines bitter orange, neroli and black pepper, an opening that is at once bitter, floral and spicy. The fragrance is classed among woodies.
Cardamom, saffron and olibanum
The heart brings together cardamom, saffron and olibanum, the resin from which incense is drawn. These three raw materials give the composition its spicy warmth and its resinous facet.
Oud, patchouli and leatherwood
The base combines oud, patchouli and leatherwood, a wood whose note recalls leather. The whole extends the oud wood with a leathery, earthy facet.
