Nectar Oud
Nectar Oud by BDK Parfums is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with saffron and raspberry, moves into cypriol, frankincense and oud and dries down to benzoin and cedarwood. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Raspberry Tart, jammy and slightly fuzzy. Very popular in modern sweet scents.
Heart
- Cypriol Also called nagarmotha. Smoky, leathery, earthy — a vetiver relative.
- Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
Dry-down
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
