Ruade

In Ruade, hay absolute, oud and narcissus sit side by side. The hay brings a green, earthy dryness, the oud adds a woody, smoky depth, and the narcissus carries the floral side while blending with animal and leathery tones. It isn't sweet; it reads dry, raw and a little severe.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick winter and fall, with summer far behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also works for leisure time. Voters tend to call it masculine, yet as a unisex fragrance it finds a place on women too. Parfum d'Empire Tabac Tabou and Hellenist Éveil du Faune have a close profile.
