CUBAN OUD
The Story Behind Cuban Oud
The idea didn’t start in a lab. It started with a Cuban cigar — not to recreate the smell, but the feeling.
The confidence. The presence. The slow burn that fills a room without raising its voice.
That’s what we wanted in a perfume.
Tobacco was obvious — but not the sweet, rounded kind. We chose the kind with edges. With grit. Then came the real challenge: pairing it with oud that wouldn’t disappear or dominate.
It had to hold ground.
We didn’t overbuild it. We kept the structure tight, the materials serious. Every note added had to earn its place.
This was never meant to please everyone — it was meant to leave an impression.
It was made for those who know what power smells like.
Fragrance Description
Bold isn’t the word. This is magnetic.
From the first touch, you know where this is going.
Tobacco, clove, and oud hit in full — thick, dry, and undeniable. There’s no soft opening here. It’s warm, smoky, and so full of presence, it doesn’t need to move fast.
It feels loaded — like something important’s about to happen.
Cumin adds a low burn. Ambergris bites through the richness. The oud holds steady — deep, polished, and uncompromising.
Then something cuts through.
Grapefruit. Basil. Clean, sharp, and completely unexpected. Not there to lighten the blend — but to keep it thinking ahead.
And as it fades, it doesn’t really fade.
It just settles — tobacco and sandalwood slow-burning on the skin, dry and unforgettable.
Cuban Oud doesn’t demand attention.
It commands space.
And once you’re in its orbit — you stay there.
