MY OUD

This time, we made it personal: This new summer oud was made just for you.

As always, My Oud brings a taste of the faraway alongside the urban locale and continues Bond No. 9's longtime tradition of crafting singular oud-forward fragrances. "Who knew that we would make NYC the ultimate oud purveyor," says Bond No. 9 Founder Laurice Rahme. "This s a New York based scent to wear throughout the day and into the night."

My Oud is a warm, summery, spicy chypre. The opening is a surprising does of sweetness and light to create an "oud with a New York twist," says Rahme of fruit notes: juicy pineapple nectar and sparking pink grapefruit offer zest and vigor comingled with a rich, sensual frankincense note derived from resinous olibanum incense.

At its heart, the calm, refined immortelle flower recalls the coastal regions of the Mediterranean. This romantic note is blended with earthy, honeyed beeswax and the ever-alluring extract of pure rose.

Finally, the composition is grounded by the spices of ancient mythological lore: myrrh - smoky and aromatic - alongside balsamic patchouli oil and leathery labdanum. And of course, the base note is woody, always quietly luxurious, oud.
