No. 7

Duftanker MGO Duftmanufaktur

Green · Spicy · Woody

Duftanker MGO Duftmanufaktur No. 7 is a smoky, resinous and woody unisex scent with a green, spicy streak. The fragrance is built around oud: Indian, Thai and Borneo oud sit together, with sandalwood, cedar and nagarmotha forming the woody frame. Amber, benzoin, Peru balsam and tolu balm add a warm, slightly sweet resinous layer. Animal and leathery accents deepen it, while the green and spicy side keeps it from turning wholly dark. It suits those who like oud and resins.

Navitus Parfums · 2019

Green · Oriental · Animal

Navitus Parfums Oud Imperium is a unisex fragrance that pairs lemon and lavender with oud, giving it a green, oriental character. It opens with lemon, apple and lavender, a cool and fresh start. In the heart, woody notes, jasmine, lily of the valley and vanilla come in, with the floral side softened by the vanilla. The base is led by oud, sandalwood, amber, musk and tonka bean; the resinous, leathery and animal accords give it a warm, dark footing, while nagarmotha adds a dry, earthy tone. The green accord links the fresh opening to the oud-heavy base. Xerjoff Alexandria II and Penhaligon's Halfeti have a close profile.
