As we’ve come to expect from Tauer, L'Oudh is anything but a typical oud perfume. Instead of using synthetic materials, Tauer incorporates authentic, sustainably sourced Lao oud, inviting you to experience a truly unique fragrance. L'Oudh kicks off with a bold, inky leather note, enriched by a hint of smoky gasoline. What’s refreshing is that it doesn’t follow the trend of pairing oud with rose or amber, allowing the raw character of the oud to shine through. Here, the oud feels incredibly smooth, almost oily and balsamic, but it also has a cool, metallic edge that gives it an industrial vibe—perfectly fitting into Tauer’s aesthetic. What’s really striking is that while L'Oudh has an undeniably animalistic quality, it avoids the sour or barnyard notes often associated with oud. Instead, the supporting notes enhance the smoky, leathery, and tar-like elements. Castoreum brings out a warm, rubbery side, while cypriol adds an intriguing inky smokiness, and Javanese vetiver gives it a bold, rooty depth. L'Oudh is like a love letter to darkness—deep, mysterious, and rich like a tar pit. Despite its intensity, it’s surprisingly easy to wear, reminiscent of a cherished black leather jacket that has soaked up memories of smoky, adventurous nights. This blend of complexity and wearability is what makes L'Oudh so irresistibly captivating.
