Scents of eras: how perfume reflects the spirit of the times
Every era has its own scent. Not literally, but in how it felt: what it wanted, what it feared, what...
Code Deco is a Singaporean perfume house founded in 2013 by Gauri Garodia.
Its philosophy is to create fragrances that tell stories inspired by travel and cultural heritage.
Launched in 2015, White Oud became part of the Series Blanc collection, dedicated to the purity and nobility of woody materials.
It is a unisex fragrance that wears equally beautifully on the skin of both men and women.
White Oud belongs to the oriental and woody fragrance families. Its composition is an ode to white oud, the most precious and temperamental variety of agarwood.
The fragrance unfolds slowly, like a photograph developing in a solvent.
The top notes—fresh citrus and herbs—instantly capture attention before giving way to a warm, spicy heart.
The base is a luxurious woody-leathery symphony with a deep oud presence.
This fragrance is a true compliment magnet. Its very strong sillage leaves behind a velvety trail that can be noticed from a distance.
White Oud is not for the faint-hearted: it calls for confidence and a love of bold, rich fragrances. It is ideal for cooler weather, evening occasions, and special events.
At the same time, thanks to its unisex nature, it can become an everyday favorite if you appreciate complex, multifaceted compositions.
The fragrance was created by the brand's founder, Gauri Garodia. She chose to dedicate an entire collection to white oud, with White Oud becoming the culmination of this idea.
While creating the fragrance, Gauri sought to capture the scent of freshly cut wood, blending it with soft leathery and spicy nuances.
The result exceeded expectations: the perfume is both luxurious and comforting.
White Oud is an excellent choice for lovers of oud fragrances.
If you enjoyed this scent profile, consider similar compositions: Montale Aoud Ever, a sweeter and denser oud; Novaya Zarya Chypre, a classic chypre-woody fragrance; and Montale Bakhoor, a resinous, incense-infused oud.
They all share a love for oriental and woody notes, yet each has its own distinctive character.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
White Oud opens with a vibrant citrus-aromatic accord: juicy mandarin and refreshing bergamot blend with the slightly bitter greenery of myrtle and spicy sage.
At its heart, the fragrance grows warmer: velvety guaiac wood and creamy sandalwood intertwine with spicy saffron and balsamic labdanum.
The base is powerful and sensual: noble oud paired with earthy patchouli, an enveloping leather accord, and warm ambergris.
The transitions between the notes are smooth, and the fragrance unfolds gradually, leaving a long-lasting trail.
