Perfumes Similar to Byredo Accord Oud

A passionate declaration of love written in ink and blood. The scent opens on a dark, almost smoky red rose, pierced with crimson sparks. Metallic aldehydes emerge, adding tension and intensity. Dense magnolia adds a sweaty sweetness. The opoponax warms and deepens the whole, leaving a profound, mysterious signature.

A dreamy afternoon tea served in translucent porcelain, with scones, blackcurrant jam, and a bouquet of freshly-picked meadow flowers.

Perfumer: PAUL GUERLAIN

Seduction is a skill; attraction, an instinct. The decor is in place: a wooden table, leather stools, a few irises to decorate and, temptingly, plump cherries. Alternating between gallant delicacy and implicit animality. Elegance obliges, serve the other first, a nod to the ceremonial tradition of sake and kirsch. A toast to good fortune, renewal and the infinite possibilities of late evening. Getting to know each other and devouring each other at the same time. Enjoy the present with passion and gratitude. Invite or acquiesce. All that remains is to choose between ephemeral or eternal adventure.

A luscious, liqueur-like cherry melts into the powdery, iridescent meanders of sake. Saffron unfurls its leathery facets, extending into a firm, comfortable suede accord. Wood and moss add a woody patina.

A snapshot of a sensual night for two on a veranda overlooking a tangled garden. Cognac is shared, its boozy intimations amping the intoxicating amber scent lifting off warm skin. Earthy patchouli adds grit to the grace.

X OUD presents itself with a whole set of olfactory opposites.
From spicy Indian oud to the sweetness of black currants, white rum and with a glow from patchouli, smoked leather and saffron these ingredients blends against musk, pineapple, apple and jasmine.

With X OUD, we wanted to maintain the original Indian Oud throughout the whole experience so we used a technique that gives the scent of the original Indian Oud a crystal clear role from start to finish.

Perfumer: Chris Maurice

Sensual, refined and compelling this fruity rose opens with crisp, succulent green apple blended with spicy pink pepper and lush blackcurrant. A honeyed bouquet of jasmine and tuberose enriches the delectable pink rose for a sophisticated effect. The tenacious golden base of amber, musk and vanilla indulges the floral fruits for a bold and amplified diffusion. 

Noblemen becoming highwaymen, women becoming men, Englishmen becoming Arabs and prostitutes becoming clergy. Here is a gathering of misfits, the rich, famous and infamous all shrouded in drapery of varying deception as one steps into another world for an evening of flirtation, posturing and risqué conduct.

An elixir to give oneself airs of grandeur and mystique. A complex silky composition, comprised of ambrée and chypre fragrant qualities, A Masquerade is an exquisite companion for social occasions and long evenings, befitting those that seek an alluring presence.

Here we consider the relationship between the sea and the art it has inspired.

Crabtree uses his grandfather's pen drawings of luxury yachts, his father's library of nautical fiction and his own tattoos as references. Accord of black ink dominate here; west Indian spiced rum; papers lost and found; the familiar dry accords of leather bound books balanced with warm enigmatic notes of vanilla pipe tobacco. All finely based around a dark heart of birch tar and labdanum.

As featured in Elle Magazine: Masculine Notes: A New Fragrance Trend

A sensual floral with an exotic tropical touch.

Ylang-ylang, jasmine and leathery osmathus are highlighted with ginger, coconut and rum.

Elegant, decadent and slightly melancholic, very Lana del Ray.

"My old man is a tough man
But he got a soul as sweet as blood red jam
And he shows me, he knows me, every inch of my tar black soul
He doesn't mind I have a flat broke down life
In fact he says he thinks it's what he might like about me, admires me
The way I roll like a rolling stone."

Off to the races. L. Del Ray

In this perfume story, the smoky gaiac aroma is gliding across a fresh and boundless ozonic void.

The story is open to interpretation: you can smell the waterproof canvas of the parachute gear in the abstract clean woodiness of the formula; or the air from under the tarpaulin you pull off a glider in its hangar; or think of any scenario involving flying machinery and an unlimited supply of fresh air.

The perfumer wanted to achieve a hazy floating shadow of an aroma, evoking a sensation of endless dark blue space, the calm humming of an engine, and hints of gasoline or machine oil. A worthy heir to the grandpa of all hazy smoky formulas inspired by airplane wings: Guerlain’s Vol de Nuit.
