Oud Nude belongs to Guerlain's L'Art & La Matière. Rather than a black, dense oud, Delphine Jelk made it luminous, alongside pale woods; the house makes it a bright, sensual reading of oud.
Oud meets a white almond and a raspberry accord, with Atlas cedarwood and rose petals. Sandalwood and a Madagascar vanilla tincture soften it.

Oud Nude in detail
Oud Nude belongs to Guerlain's L'Art & La Matière. Delphine Jelk wanted a pale oud, far from the usual darkness of this wood, and the house compares it to Constantin Brâncuși's pared-back sculptures. Volute files it among woody fragrances.
Guerlain lists its notes without sorting them into tiers. Oud meets a white almond and a raspberry accord, with Atlas cedarwood and rose petals. Creamy sandalwood, then a Madagascar vanilla tincture soften it and make it more sensual.
Oud Nude suits autumn and winter, by day or by night; it is a gentle way to discover oud, with almond and raspberry to soften it. Cedarwood and sandalwood give it a pale woody structure.
Three woody fragrances in our catalogue come close: Harrods Aoud by Roja Parfums shares rose, cedarwood, sandalwood, oud and vanilla; Oud Noir Intense by Fragrance Du Bois finds rose, sandalwood, vanilla and oud again; Ceylon by Xerjoff pairs sandalwood, oud and vanilla.
