Guerlain Oud Nude EDP

Description

Oud Nude softens Guerlain's oud into something warm, gourmand, and wearable rather than heavy or medicinal. Released in 2022 as part of the exclusive L'Art et la Matière collection and composed by perfumer Delphine Jelk, it opens on almond, incense, and cumin, moves through a fruity Atlas cedar-and-raspberry heart, and settles into a genuinely oud-forward base of oud wood, vanilla, musk, and sandalwood. Unlike louder, more resinous oud fragrances, Oud Nude leans creamy and sweet — the almond and vanilla keep the agarwood from ever turning sharp. As with the rest of L'Art et la Matière, it's a boutique-only release rarely found outside Guerlain's own counters.

Scent Character

• Woody: 34%
• Oud: 34%
• Sweet: 32%

Translation: a near-even split between woody, oud, and sweet character — this is a true oud composition built on real agarwood in the base, just rendered gourmand and creamy rather than smoky or sharp.
