Purple Oud in detail
Purple Oud belongs to La Collection Privée Christian Dior. It pays tribute to violet, a colour the house links to daring in its couture silhouettes. Volute files it among woody fragrances: oud remains the main material, lifted by spices and citrus.
Dior lists its notes without sorting them into tiers. An oud wood is heightened by a saffron accord, peppery pink pepper and sweet orange, which give it a sparkling character unexpected for an oud.
Purple Oud is an evening scent for autumn and winter; orange and pink pepper lighten a deep wood, while saffron adds a warm, leathery touch. The oud remains at the centre from start to finish, supported by these brighter notes.
Three woody fragrances in our catalogue come close: Abu Dhabi by Memo Paris shares orange, pink pepper and saffron; Epic Man by Amouage finds pink pepper, saffron and oud again; Halfeti by Penhaligon's also puts oud at its centre.
