Lancome Absolue Oud Bouquet

This bold unisex amber vanilla fragrance from the house of Lancôme, launched in 2024 and created by perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin, delivers a captivating sweet-woody experience.

The composition opens with a unique spicy flavor of saffron, announcing the softness of rose petals blended with woody oud accords. At its heart lies a luxurious rose centifolia absolute from Lancôme's own Domaine de la Rose in Grasse, admired for its honeyed, jammy sweetness with subtle fruity nuances. The oud wood provides a powerful, smoky-woody anchor, while the gourmand base introduces a delicious praline accord and creamy vanilla, creating an irresistible gourmand twist. Additional depth comes from guaiac wood and copahu balm.

Described as "the first gourmand oud" by its perfumer, Oud Bouquet lingers on the skin with above-average projection and all-day longevity. This rich, warm, and heady scent is reminiscent of clear night skies in the Domaine during the peak of summer.
