Oud Khôl
Guerlain L'Art et la Matière · Eau de Parfum (EDP) · 2022
≈ $340 · 125ml · approx. retail
A celebration of absolute black, pairing dark leathery oud with charcoal-like smokiness and a sweet praline undertone, sharpened by bright aldehydes. Deep, resinous and dramatic, it renders oud at its most intense.
