R 379.99 ZAR
Inspired By
Maison Alhambra Dark Aoud (also known as Woody Oud) is a modern oriental woody oud fragrance that balances spicy warmth, smoky woods, and soft sweetness. It is often associated with the elegant “designer oud” style—smooth, wearable, and less harsh than traditional heavy oud compositions.
The fragrance opens with a refined blend of cardamom, pepper, and rosewood, giving it a dry, spicy-woody introduction that feels immediately sophisticated. As it develops, the heart reveals the core character of the scent: oud, sandalwood, and vetiver, creating a deep, earthy, and slightly smoky woodiness that feels rich but controlled.
In the dry-down, Dark Aoud softens into a warm and comforting base of ambergris, tonka bean, and vanilla, adding a creamy sweetness that rounds out the darker woody notes and gives the fragrance a smooth, long-lasting finish.
