White Oud

"White oud" refers to a fragrance profile that aims to provide a lighter, cleaner, and often more modern interpretation of traditional oud. Here's a breakdown of key aspects:
* Traditional Oud vs. White Oud:
* Traditional oud, derived from agarwood, is known for its deep, rich, and often intense woody and smoky aroma.
* "White oud" generally seeks to create a more delicate and versatile scent. This often involves blending oud with other notes to soften its intensity.
* Scent Profile:
* White oud fragrances often incorporate:
* Floral notes (like rose, jasmine, and lily-of-the-valley)
* Musky notes
* Amber notes
* Sometimes, lighter spicy notes
* The goal is to create a fragrance that retains the warmth and depth of oud while adding a touch of freshness and elegance.
* Characteristics:
* Often described as:

* Variations:
