Lancôme Oud Bouquet Review: A Modern Masterpiece of Oud

Discover the opulent blend of saffron, rose, and praline in this iconic fragrance.

By Vivir · · Updated
Launched in 2014, Lancôme Oud Bouquet stands as a pillar in the brand's premium fragrance offerings. Developed by perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin, this scent was designed to bridge the gap between traditional Middle Eastern perfumery and modern Western luxury standards. It remains a staple for enthusiasts seeking a sophisticated, gourmand-leaning oud experience. At its core, Oud Bouquet is a study in contrasts. It manages to balance the animalic, medicinal intensity often associated with agarwood with the decadent sweetness of praline and vanilla. This composition has garnered a loyal following, cementing its place as one of the most respected releases from the Lancôme collection.
