Byredo’s Accord Oud presents a striking set of olfactory opposites. The warm sweetness of blackberry and boozy rum pair with a camphorous glow from patchouli. And saffron’s rounded softness is set against the sharp and smoky birch of a leather accord. Powdery musks resolve and fill in some of these opposites, and notes like clary sage complement the birch and patchouli.

A resinous, aromatic, fruity leather, Byredo’s Accord Oud suggests that oud is as much a mysterious set of olfactory characteristics sweet, medicinal, soft, and dark as it is an actual perfume note.
