💎 The Resin Mirage

Intense Oud is not just a perfume — it’s a mirage of golden resins and smoky woods. Created by Aurélien Guichard for Gucci, this fragrance evokes the sacred warmth of Middle Eastern rituals, wrapped in Western refinement. It’s a modern amber-oud composition that glows with mineral clarity and balsamic depth.

The opening is dry and radiant: Iso E Super, Cedramber, and Amberketal create a transparent woody-amber lift. Ginger Oil, Red Berries SFE, and Rhubofix add a fleeting spicy-fruity spark.

The heart is built on smoky woods and creamy sandalwood: Patchouli Heart SFE, Nagarmotha Oil, Guaiacwood Oil, and Javanol form a dense, earthy core. Timberol, Cashmeran, and Kephalis add smoothness and musky warmth. Hedione brings floral transparency.

The drydown is resinous and musky: Ambroxan, Ebanol, Muscenone Delta, and Ambrettolide create a mineral, animalic base. Olibanum Oil, Labdanum Oil, and Gurjun Balsam Oil evoke sacred incense. Vanillin Crystal, Coumarin, and Maltol Crystals add a soft gourmand shimmer, while Safranal, Birch Tar Oil, and Cumin Oil deepen the smoky spice.
