Super Oud
Super Oud by Bond No. 9 is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. The house lists its notes as coffee, saffron, frankincense, rose, benzoin, oud, suede, ambroxan and patchouli, without saying which you smell first. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Listed notes
- Coffee Roasted, bitter and dark. Adds edge to sweet fragrances.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
- Suede Soft, powdery leather. Much gentler than the real thing.
- Ambroxan Clean, mineral, skin-like warmth. The engine behind most modern 'beast mode' scents.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
