Hipster Oud delivers a soft, sweet, and gourmand rose fragrance with a delicate hint of oud, making it ideal for those seeking a light, wearable scent without the intensity of traditional oud perfumes. The opening features a fresh blend of rose, fruity notes, and soft spices, evolving into a layered, powdery, ambered dry-down that feels elegant and comforting. While the oud presence is subtle and nearly imperceptible to some, most users appreciate its presence as a background warmth rather than a dominant note. The fragrance performs best in cooler weather, offering moderate sillage and long-lasting wear over 6 hours, particularly on skin. It feels most natural worn during spring and autumn, and though it projects less impressively on fabric, it settles into a smooth, skin-scent-like trail that enhances intimate wear. Many compare it favorably to Rose Gourmand, Mancera Rose Vanille, or a softer version of Intense Cafe — but it's less sweet and less bold than those. It's especially praised for being beginner-friendly, blending well with other scents, and being perfect for casual daytime wear, office settings, or layering with perfumes like Clinique Aromatics Black.
