White Oud
5.9Illuminum · 2012
Green · Synthetic · Spicy
Illuminum White Oud is a woody, earthy unisex fragrance that pairs cumin and coriander spice with Java vetiver and Laotian oud.
It opens with cumin and coriander, which bring a sharp, spicy edge. In the heart, Java vetiver lays down a green, earthy ground. The base belongs to oakmoss, musk and Laotian oud, and the scent turns resinous, smoky and animal, with a faintly synthetic edge. The overall impression is dry and austere: not sweet or powdery, but a green, woody take on oud.
Anatole Lebreton Grimoire and Prin Eshu have a close note and accord profile.
