A battle royale between jasmine and oud, where everyone’s a winner. Oud in White opens on a zest of pear, ginger, and raspberry, before revealing its true intentions with jasmine sambac’s shocking sensuality. Peachy osmanthus fleshes out the fleshiness, and resinous labdanum and milky sandalwood makes the slide into leathery Cambodian oud irresistible. Between the twinned forces of indolic jasmine and barnyardy oud, this one’s for connoisseurs of the finer side of skank.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
An evening spent in close conversation, with enough intimacy for jasmine’s floral richness and oud’s animalic edge to register. The fruit offers an inviting first impression; beneath it, leather and indolic warmth give the fragrance a more candid, physical presence.
How to wear
Start with one spray on the torso and assess before adding more. Cooler weather suits the resinous woods and creamy sandalwood; in warmth, a lighter application is a sensible approach to the indolic jasmine and animalic oud. Keep application restrained for close indoor settings.
Who it’s for
For lovers of indolic white florals, leathery oud and deliberately animalic perfumes. It will appeal to those who enjoy fruit and creamy woods as a counterpoint to more challenging materials, rather than expecting jasmine to smell pristine or oud to feel polished and subdued.

The nose
Julien Rasquinet is known for expressive compositions that give woods, resins and richly textured materials a strong presence. Trained under Pierre Bourdon, his work includes The Moon for Frédéric Malle and Interlude Black Iris for Amouage. For Oud in White, he sought to balance indolic jasmine with bold, leathery oud without taming the flower’s wildness.
Collaborators
Daniela Caon originated the jasmine–oud idea through a longstanding request and also designed the packaging. Roberto Drago helped shape the creative direction, embracing the pairing and selecting Julien Rasquinet to bring it to life.
Laboratorio Olfattivo’s story
Laboratorio Olfattivo approaches perfumery as a creative workshop, giving perfumers freedom to explore materials, memories and experiences. Founded by Daniela Caon and Roberto Drago, the house places individual expression at the center of its fragrances, with restrained presentation that lets the compositions carry the character.
Oud in White’s concept
Oud in White began with Daniela Caon’s wish for a fragrance built around jasmine and oud. Roberto Drago entrusted the idea to Julien Rasquinet, whose approach preserved the indolic sensuality of jasmine against oud’s leathery strength. The result explores the shared animalic edge of flower and wood rather than treating jasmine as a softening accent.
Extra info
Despite its name, Oud in White has an all-black presentation. Its official formula names Cambodian Oud Al Safii alongside jasmine sambac absolute and osmanthus absolute. The house calls the fragrance Parfum Intense, without publishing a numerical perfume-oil concentration.
