About Oud Absolu
Oud Absolu by Neil Jacquet: A New Oriental Woody Fragrance
Oud Absolu is a new Oriental Woody fragrance from Neil Jacquet, designed for women and men. It launches in 2026 and is already making an impression.
French perfumer Clément Marx is the creative nose behind this composition, which combines rich oud, leather, and warm spices.
The opening is bright and refreshing, with Calabrian bergamot delivering a citrusy kick. Cardamom and saffron follow quickly, adding a warm, piquant spice that sets the tone for the entire scent.
At the heart, oud wood is the star. It's supported by leather and Egyptian papyrus, which give the fragrance a dry, slightly smoky texture. The blend feels luxurious without being heavy.
The base is more sensual and rounded. Patchouli contributes earthy depth, labdanum brings a resinous amber-like warmth, and vanilla softens the drydown with a subtle sweetness.
According to Neil Jacquet, Oud Absolu features accords of citrus, warm spicy, leather, oud, fresh spicy, aromatic, woody, and animalic. That's a complex palette for those who appreciate multi-layered perfumes.
Marx balances the smokiness of oud with brighter top notes, creating a scent that feels rooted in tradition but still contemporary. The result is a distinct and memorable release.
This fragrance will appeal to fans of oud and leather, as well as anyone who loves warm, spicy oriental scents. It shines in the evening and during colder months, and its unisex character makes it great for sharing.
Oud Absolu is a confident, well-crafted fragrance from Neil Jacquet. It delivers a rich yet wearable take on the oriental woody genre, and its initial 5/5 rating suggests a very promising future.
