Oud Zhen

Oud Zhen by Areej Le Doré is a deeply resonant, smoky oud fragrance that unfolds with the richness of a campfire made from aged agarwood chips and resin. It begins with a thick, resinous smoke that coats the senses—wild and animalic, but not overwhelming. This evolves into a lush, sweet amber base interwoven with castoreum and myrrh, giving an opulent, velvety depth that feels both primal and luxurious. The scent is not abrasive; instead, it gathers warmth and sweetness like a smoke trail from a fire in a stone crypt. It lingers on skin for days, impressing with its longevity and consistent, enveloping presence. Though it exudes a dark, masculine aura, many note its power lies in its surprising accessibility—its elegance and gentle complexity allow even those new to heavy oud perfumes to feel drawn in.
