Love Kills Oud

Love Kills Oud by Masque Milano is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with blackcurrant and lychee, moves into cypriol, geranium, rose and cedarwood and dries down to oud, patchouli, amber, labdanum and vanilla. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
Lychee Rosy, watery and delicate. Sweet without being heavy.

Heart

Cypriol Also called nagarmotha. Smoky, leathery, earthy — a vetiver relative.
Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.

Dry-down

Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
