Cherry Oud belongs to L'Art & La Matière, the Guerlain collection in which each fragrance is devoted to one great material. Delphine Jelk pairs usually austere oud wood with a bright, glossy cherry; the house presents it as a floral, fruity take on oud.
The fragrance brings together oud, cherry, two roses, a Turkish absolute and a Bulgarian oil, and a leather accord that darkens the whole.

Cherry Oud in detail
In L'Art & La Matière, Guerlain devotes each fragrance to one material. With Cherry Oud, Delphine Jelk takes the opposite view of the usual dark, austere oud by pairing it with a bright cherry. Volute files it among woody fragrances, as oud remains the main material.
Guerlain lists its notes without sorting them into tiers: oud, here a wood from Bangladesh harvested by hand according to the house, cherry, two roses, a honeyed Turkish absolute and a fruitier Bulgarian oil, and a leather accord that darkens the flower.
Cherry Oud is an evening scent for autumn and winter; cherry and rose make the oud more approachable without taking away its depth.
Three woody fragrances in our catalogue come close: Oud Maracujá by Maison Crivelli shares rose, oud and leather; Oud & Spice by Acqua di Parma also pairs rose with oud; Epic Man by Amouage finds oud and leather again.
