Good Oud
Good Oud by Bond No. 9 is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. The house lists its notes as magnolia, osmanthus, cinnamon, cumin, pomegranate, myrrh, peru balsam, clary sage, red berries, vanilla, labdanum, patchouli and oud, without saying which you smell first. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Listed notes
- Magnolia Lemony white floral. Bright and clean rather than heavy.
- Osmanthus Apricot-and-leather floral. Unusual, warm and very wearable.
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
- Cumin Warm, spicy and unmistakably sweaty. Divides rooms.
- Pomegranate Tart, juicy and jewel-red. Sharper than most berries.
- Myrrh Bitter, smoky resin. Ancient-smelling and slightly cool.
- Peru Balsam Vanilla and cinnamon resin. Deep and syrupy.
- Clary Sage Softer, sweeter sage with an ambery undertone. Warm and herbal.
- Red Berries Generic jammy berry blend. Bright, sweet and crowd-pleasing.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
