Guerlain Oud Essentiel Unisex EDP
Oud Essentiel by Guerlain is a mysterious, sensual Oriental Woody fragrance built around the richness of agarwood. Created by perfumer Thierry Wasser and launched in 2017 as part of the Les Absolus d'Orient collection, it opens with a spiced, radiant brightness before settling into a smoky, leathery heart wrapped in incense and warm cedar.
The fragrance opens with Saffron and Pelargonium, creating a warm and slightly spiced start. At the heart, Agarwood (Oud), Rose, and Atlas Cedarwood bring a rich, woody floral depth. The base settles into Leather, Incense, and Gaiac Wood for a smoky, balsamic, unforgettable trail.

A mysterious, smoky, and deeply sensual Oud. Ideal for those who love rich oud, leather, and incense fragrances that linger.
