Is Oud Wood Intense discontinued?+−
Yes, this fragrance was discontinued a few years after its 2017 release. It has become a sought-after collector's item within the fragrance community, often appearing in private collections alongside other rare "Intense" editions from the brand.
How does this differ from the original Oud Wood?+−
Where the original is spicy, creamy, and relatively light, the Intense version removes the cardamom and vanilla-like sweetness in favor of heavy leather, smoky oud, and bitter angelica root. It is much darker, more animalic, and more "dusty" than the original.
Is this considered a masculine or feminine fragrance?+−
While marketed to both men and women, the fragrance community generally describes it as leaning heavily masculine due to its bitter, leathery, and smoky characteristics, which lack traditional floral or sweet elements.
How is the performance and longevity?+−
This fragrance is known for its high performance. It lasts considerably longer than the standard Eau de Parfum and projects much further, making it important to apply sparingly for indoor or professional settings.
