"Renowned for its darkness and sophistication, oud wood now lays itself bare upon contact with white almond. At the heart, a beguiling raspberry accord heightens the blond wood tones of luxurious Atlas cedar..  The bark of this incredibly tender, naked wood is delicately embraced by a voluptuous rose. Oud is illuminated and unveiled through the gentle touch of creamy sandalwood, then exalted by Madagascan vanilla tincture.- A note from the brand

REVIEWS

Fragrantica - "I love this one. It's like a gourmand with a gentle wood undertone. Perfect for people who want a safe wood scent that doesn't take over the entire room."

Fragrantica - "Love this one, but I do detect plastic doll head. Luckily, I like that effect. I was worried about the raspberry because it can really dominate in a fragrance, however, this just adds a slightly feminine fruity hint and then the oud kicks in very softly with lots of almond powder on top. Its so pretty and perfect for fall."

Fragrantica - "Oud is just everywhere now, so I like that Guerlain is taking its own artistic direction. This one is the easiest to like, soft, sweet, crowd pleasing, pretty, inoffensive. This is for all almondy scents fans." 

Fragrantica - "Oud Nude is by far my favourite of the 3 new oud fragrances Guerlain is offering. No pencil shavings or plastic doll's head here! ;) Plus it lasts forever on me-which IMO is table stakes when a fragrance costs this much. On my skin, this oud is soft, warm, and inviting; woody yet sweet, and I definitely pick up on the almond note, so there's a hint of powder here, too."

Fragrantica - "However this is an absolutely lovely proposition for all those non-fans of Oud fragrances such as myself, because it doesn't reek of Oud in an overdosed and unpleasant way. Quite the opposite: it's unexpectedly soft, warm, floral, sweetly balsamic and very addictive. There is just enough Oud in there to make it intriguing and vibrant, without making it too overpowering. This is simply perfect!"

Fragrantica - "Oud Nude: it's from the 24 gold / kalemat/ Raghba family of fragrances but its smoother and with better quality. Really nice raspberry, almond, vanilla and wood . Gourmandish, Delicious sweet fragrance . A hint of smoke. It's my favorite out of the three . excellent performance."
