Pernoire | Oudian | Extrait de Parfum
Oudian is a daring, aggressively sophisticated fragrance from the Swiss high-luxury house Pernoire, featured in their ODUS Collection. It is conceived as the ultimate liquid metaphor for undisputed dominance, unapologetic strength, and absolute authority. It is built around an audacious, high-contrast wordplay: Oud mixed with Durian. It opens with an explosive, multi-dimensional canopy of ripe tropical fruits and the notoriously rich, creamy, and slightly sulfurous exoticism of durian, spiked with the live-wire spark of saffron and prickly Sichuan pepper. It shifts smoothly into a deeply resinous heart of smoky frankincense and sticky labdanum before anchoring itself on a massive, unyielding base of dark, animalic oud, rugged leather, and earthy, rooty vetiver.
