Composed by Richard Herpin in 2007, Oud Wood introduced mainstream Western luxury perfumery to the mystical, smoky depths of agarwood without overwhelming medicinal facets.

The smooth base softens the profile with warm amber, tonka bean, and vanilla, making it one of the most wearable, refined, and universally praised wood-centric fragrances ever made.
