by Avon
Oud Grandeur by Avon presents a soft, aromatic journey centered around warm spices, oud, and a lightly sweet vanilla-amber base. It opens with a crisp blend of black pepper, white pepper, nutmeg, and clove, creating a fresh yet spicy introduction that evolves into a more mature, woody-medicinal core. The oud is faint and tamed—more smoky resin and burnt wood than animalic or pungent—making it approachable for those new to oud fragrances. The sillage is moderate and intimate, with a moderate longevity that lingers for moderate durations, though some find it fades quickly, especially on dry skin. Notes of patchouli, amber, and a subtle floral-like lily emerge during the drydown, adding depth without overwhelming. It carries a film noir-esque aura—not overly sweet or heavily smoky—making it suitable for evening wear, particularly in colder seasons. Overall, it feels crafted with care, offering a sophisticated, low-impact intro to oriental woody scents, especially appealing for casual, unisex wear.
