≈ $195 · 100ml · approx. retail
Part of L'Artisan's Travel Collection, Al Oudh is Bertrand Duchaufour's Western-niche take on oud, layering dates and saffron over agarwood, leather and civet for a dense, animalic warmth. Released in 2009, it helped popularize oud among non-Middle-Eastern niche audiences ahead of the wider Western 'oud boom.'
