Introducing Headspace Oud
Headspace Oud is a unisex perfume in extrait concentration, released in 2025.
The fragrance is part of the Headspace Extraits collection by Headspace, combining fruity freshness, floral softness and an expressive woody-leathery base.
Headspace was founded in 2022 with the idea of bringing together the art of perfumery and mindfulness and wellness practices.
In this context, Headspace Oud can be seen as a richer, deeper interpretation of a perfumery meditation: the composition opens with a light, juicy character, then gradually develops density, warmth and personality.
Character and development
The fragrance opens with an energetic, noticeable impression created by a citrus accent, juicy fruits and a touch of sweetness.
As it develops, the freshness softens into a floral heart, where a delicate balance emerges between green geranium, airy orange blossom and tender peony.
The final stage of the composition is built around leather, oud and patchouli.
The leather accord gives the fragrance a composed character, oud creates a distinctive woody texture, while patchouli lends earthy depth to the base.
As a result, Headspace Oud combines a contrasting opening with a serious, rich trail.
Who will enjoy this fragrance
It is positioned as a unisex fragrance, so it develops intriguingly on both women's and men's skin.
Its character will especially appeal to those who enjoy noticeable compositions with a fruity-floral opening and a darker woody-leathery base.
Headspace Oud is described as having a very strong sillage.
This is not an intimate fragrance for an understated presence, but an expressive extrait suited to cool weather, evenings, special occasions or situations when you want to emphasize your individuality.
In warm weather, moderate application is best so that the dense base remains comfortable for those around you.
The perfumers and its place in the collection
Headspace Oud was created by perfumers Julien Rasquinet and Nicolas Chabot.
Their authorship is especially evident in the way the contrasts are constructed: a bright fruity opening meets a floral heart before giving way to a rich base with a leather accord, oud and patchouli.
The fragrance is an excellent choice for discovering the Headspace Extraits collection if you are interested in dense compositions with strong projection and a multilayered development.
Related directions to explore include Nabeel Ashjan, Ajmal Vibe For Women and Nabeel Acqua di Nabeel Absolute. However, Headspace Oud stands out with its combination of pineapple, pear and lemon leading into an oud-leather finish.
Application and wearability
Exact recommendations for applying Headspace Oud to skin and clothing have not been provided.
Given its extrait concentration and very strong sillage, it is sensible to start with a small amount and assess the fragrance's intensity on your own skin.
The composition maintains a noticeable presence throughout the day, so additional sprays should be added gradually.
