Polite Oud: WIDIAN's New Sweet Floral for Everyone
Polite Oud is the new fragrance from WIDIAN, launched in 2026. The house describes it as a scent for both men and women, built around floral, fruity, and woody contrasts.
Created by perfumers Hamid Merati-Kashani and Honorine Blanc, this composition opens with bright fruit, moves through white flowers and coffee, and settles on a soft oud-vanilla base.
The top notes feature orange, peach, apple, and pear. This juicy opening feels fresh and approachable, before giving way to a more floral heart.
In the heart, orange blossom, white flowers, coffee, and rose create an interesting tension. The delicate florals are balanced by the coffee's darker, almost gourmand edge.
The base layers balsamic notes, vanilla, musk, and oud wood. The vanilla and musk soften the oud, making the drydown smooth, warm, and long-lasting without feeling overpowering.
Polite Oud includes accords such as white floral, rose, fruity, coffee, sweet, powdery, vanillic, musky, warm spicy, and oud. It feels complex but still easy to wear in many situations.
So far, it has an average rating of 3.75 out of 5 from four reviews. That's a small sample, but the early response is encouraging.
This perfume will appeal to fans of sweet, powdery florals as well as oud lovers looking for a softer, more fruity interpretation of the wood.
Polite Oud is a versatile and modern addition to WIDIAN's lineup. It balances freshness, florals, coffee, and oud in a way that feels polished and comfortable—a good choice for daily wear or a refined evening out.
