Carved Oud

Carved Oud by Thameen is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with cardamom, cypriol and cypress, moves into cedarwood, patchouli and oud and dries down to vetiver, amber, musk, labdanum and sandalwood. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
Cypriol Also called nagarmotha. Smoky, leathery, earthy — a vetiver relative.
Cypress Cool, green, resinous conifer. Sharp and clean.

Heart

Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
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.

Dry-down

Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
