Lust Oud Delice — an oriental gourmand composition
Chris Collins Lust Oud Delice is a unisex eau de parfum released in 2024. The fragrance is part of the Rubeus collection and combines oriental depth with an expressive gourmand character.
Its character is built around the contrast of dark chocolate, nutty nuances and noble woody accords.
The release reflects the direction of Chris Collins, an American niche perfumery brand born from travel and given a distinctive New York voice.
In Lust Oud Delice, this aesthetic reveals itself through a rich, sensual and noticeable scent.
The composition is intended for those who enjoy fragrances with character and prefer not to blend into their surroundings.
How the fragrance unfolds
Lust Oud Delice opens with an appetizing softness: dark chocolate creates a dense, sweet-and-bitter backdrop, while hazelnut and walnut add a creamy, slightly dry nutty facet.
Gradually, the gourmand accord becomes deeper and more composed, giving way to a spicy, balsamic heart. This keeps the fragrance from seeming like a simple dessert-like perfume.
In the heart, benzoin softens the transition to woody nuances, iris brings a powdery coolness, and nagarmotha adds a dry, earthy-woody expressiveness.
In the finale, oud emerges, supported by sandalwood and musk. The base is warm, deep and full-bodied, while retaining resinous, woody and softly sweet tones.
Sillage and character
According to the stated characteristics, Lust Oud Delice has a very strong sillage, making it especially suitable for those who appreciate noticeable oriental compositions.
It creates a rich cloud around the wearer and can continue to attract attention indoors for a long time.
For an everyday office setting, this character may prove too pronounced, but in the evening it reveals itself particularly impressively.
This is a unisex fragrance without a strict association with either a feminine or masculine wardrobe.
On some skin, the chocolate-and-nut facet may smell softer and cozier; on others, oud, nagarmotha and musk may come through more vividly.
Lust Oud Delice is well suited to cool weather, evening gatherings, formal occasions and moments when you want to emphasize your individuality.
The perfumer and its place in the collection
The composition was created by Alexis Grugeon.
His work is structured around an expressive contrast: the sweet side of dark chocolate and nuts gradually merges with dry woody, resinous and musky nuances.
This makes the fragrance feel layered and composed rather than linear.
Within the Rubeus collection, Lust Oud Delice stands out for its rich gourmand facet and especially prominent oud finish.
It is a choice for fans of oriental, sweet, woody and musky fragrances who value a dense scent and powerful sillage.
In mood, it is reminiscent of luxurious compositions with dark, resinous and precious woody nuances.
Application and similar fragrances
The available source data do not specify exact recommendations for applying Lust Oud Delice to skin or clothing.
Given its very strong sillage, it is sensible to start with a small amount and assess how it develops after a few minutes, especially when applying it indoors.
For the first encounter with the composition, skin is the better choice: it makes it easier to follow the transition from the chocolate-and-nut opening to the oud-and-sandalwood base.

It may appeal to lovers of dense, expressive and prestigious compositions, although the exact scent of each fragrance will depend on individual perception.
