SoOud is a niche perfume brand created by French perfumer Stéphane Humbert Lucas. The lineup currently features eight fragrances, and each of them comes in Eau Fine (eau de parfum) and Parfum Nektar (more concentrated than Eau Fine).
The brand is inspired by the mysterious beauty of the Middle East. Four of the eight scents (Asmar, Burqa, Fam, and Kanz) contain the note of oud (resin from Aquilaria trees), and the fragrance bottles resemble a niqab. Today I am featuring Ouris Eau Fine.

Last year, Maison Martin Margiela launched it first fragrance, (Untitled). The stellar creation combines the cool and dry citrus green sensation and the woody and smoky warmth. It is one of the few smoky scents that appeal to me. This year, the fashion house launched a lighter version of the scent, (Untitled) L’Eau.
(Untitled) L’Eau features notes of mandarin orange, lemon, crushed leaves, curly-leafed mint, and buchu. It is predominantly a citrus green scent with hints of woodiness and smokiness.
