Guerlain's Oud Essentiel, part of the Les Absolus d'Orient collection, is a unisex fragrance that offers an exquisite blend of sweet and woody scents. Launched in 2017, the scent was crafted by renowned perfumer Thierry Wasser, drawing inspiration from the unique and precious Oud wood. The fragrance is an amber woody type, representing the essence of oriental opulence. The fragrance opens with lightly sweet and spicy top notes of saffron and pelargonium, leading to a heart where bold oud (agarwood) note intertwines with smooth cedar, all sealed by a touch of sweet rose. The scent's intensity is strong, projecting the luxurious and timeless appeal of Guerlain.
