Bedouin Oud opens with a warm thread of saffron, then quickly turns plush and sweet.

At its heart, rose and oud are wrapped in praline. The rose is rich rather than dewy, and the oud stays smooth and rounded, with a soft, incense-like warmth instead of anything sharp or medicinal.

Vanilla carries it home. The dry-down is dense, creamy and candied, sweet enough to feel like a treat but balanced by that woody depth underneath.

Best on cold evenings and special occasions, when something rich and enveloping feels right.
