Oud Octavo: The Poetry of Dark Woods

WoodyAmberSpicy

Oud Octavo explores the rich, woody character of Vietnamese black agarwood, balanced with bright citrus, warm spices and soft resins. Bergamot, coriander and ginger bring clarity to the opening, while cedarwood and labdanum deepen the composition. Vanilla, sandalwood and benzoin lend a gentle sweetness to the darker woods.

Inspired by the contrast between light and shadow, this natural eau de parfum offers a softer, more approachable interpretation of oud. Intricate and warm without being overpowering. This is an easy-to-wear fragrance for everyday pleasure. One of our longest-lasting natural perfumes, Oud Octavo offers an impressive 10–12 hours of wear for many wearers, although longevity varies with individual skin chemistry.

  • “The oud is rich and woody and with the help of cedarwood we get a very intriguing and alluring scent that combines the sweetness of summer with the smell of the first autumn fires.” — GreekGoddess
  • “The effect is truly sensual, the interplay of these ingredients – hypnotic ...Oud Octavo achieves a captivating equilibrium by harmonizing meticulously selected natural elements, skillfully crafted by a perfumer with a penchant for the abstract and a dash of sophistication.” — Karl Topham, CaFleureBon
  • “In the creation of Oud Octavo, Kershen Teo skillfully envelops the essence in a blend of woods and citrus, yielding truly breathtaking results. A sultry undertone, perhaps subdued, is revived with a hint of animalic labdanum, while a subtle touch of vanilla provides the perfect, concluding flourish. The allure of the bottle mirrors the seductive nature of the fragrance, leaving me utterly captivated.” — Stephan Matthews

5 reviews for Oud Octavo – Natural Perfume

  1. Jasmine Griggs –

    Usually I am not too keen on oud perfumes as they can be very strong and straight up your nose and I have tried more than my fair share because my husband absolutely adores this type of scent. So when I purchased this one for him, I did expect yet another very strong smelling perfume. I was pleasantly surprised by it, as it has very gentle settled scent but lasts for ages on your skin. Must say out of all different oud perfumes this one is by far the best.

  2. Jisang Shin –

    Best Oud Perfume by Far. Already the third purchase this ChristmasBought this as a present for the most loved ones twice. Now I’m gifting myself with the third purchase and my very own first but not last personal bottle of it. To anyone who felt slightly repelled from the more strong, oriental accent of oud, this one is THE one that will break your prejudice.

  3. Jason Lane (verified owner) –

    Having tried a sample 6 pack, I knew I preferred the more woody scents, so tried this one and really pleased I did. Lacks the flowery lighter tones of some scents, but comes in fabulously with the woody undertones. Enjoyable to wear, not brash, not trying to shout out its here, just has a fabulous calm but definite presence. Perfect fit for those of us, been around a few years and who like the understated, the quiet quality and might say appreciate a hand crafted leather belt rather than jazzy braces.

  4. Dominic (verified owner) –

    This is such a sophisticated and delicate blend of toasty almond richness, subtly-spiced sweetness, and the soft embrace of oud. Never overpowering, the scent sensually lingers. Evocative of an autumn wander through the woods at sunset, knowing you’ll soon be by the roaring fire with a cognac.

  5. James –

    Oud Octavo came as part of the discovery set and is my favourite so far. Soft, complex, everchanging warm woody scent. Plush whilst masculine.
