Oud Blanc

Oud Blanc by Van Cleef & Arpels unfolds as a refined, creamy oud with a sweet, floral-voilcy balance that gradually softens from its initial aldehydic bloom. The opening features a bright, soapy clean tone with sharp synthetic oud and aldehydes, followed by a smooth, rose-forward core that blends into warm vanilla and musk, creating a soft, buttery dry down. It carries a subtle balsamic smokiness from incense and light woodiness, enhancing the complexity without overwhelming. The fragrance transitions gracefully through its phases, with nuanced layering that gives it a meditative, elegant character. While brief and slightly sweet in the early moments, it settles into a quiet, warm presence that lingers well and is suitable for evening wear or intimate occasions. The aroma is unisex in appeal, with a luxurious quality that feels more polished than bold.
