Oud Eau de Parfum

Acqua di Parma Oud Eau de Parfum is a refined, modern take on oud that balances boldness with elegance. It opens with a crisp burst of Calabrian bergamot and Sicilian orange, giving it a bright, clean character that feels instantly wearable. This freshness quickly settles into a rich, smooth base where oud is present but not overwhelming—dry, slightly smoky, and refined rather than animalic or “barnyard.” Leather and sandalwood provide sophistication, while coriander adds a subtle spicy contrast, and patchouli and musk ground the composition in quiet depth. The fragrance evolves into a refined, woody leathery scent with a cool, polished demeanor, making it ideal for dress-up occasions, formal events, or quiet moments of confidence. Performance is consistently praised, with longevity lasting 10+ hours on skin and even longer on fabric, though it’s not a loud or overpowering scent. It’s surprisingly versatile, suitable across seasons, with a moderate sillage that stays close without being aggressive—perfect for night outs, office environments, or weekend elegance. While some note its humidity-sensitive projection, its ability to remain wearable year-round, adapt to skin chemistry, and stand out without being polarizing makes it one of the most accessible entrées into niche oud for beginners.
