The world first encountered Oud Version by Horseball in 2011. A feminine fragrance rooted in the east and wood families. It was created by perfumer Melanie Leroux. Oud Version is part of the Women Essence collection. Concentration — eau de parfum: exactly what it needs to be.
The birthplace of this fragrance — France, a place with a refined nose. Oud Version Horseball unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
The scent is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space
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
The composition of Oud Version is built as a living composition, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The style of Horseball is recognizable in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Every decision feels deliberate, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum emphasizes the right density and pace of development.
From the group perspective the structure relies on Citrus, Spicy, Balsamic and Floral. The framework further includes Animals, Wood and Gourmet. From a family perspective the composition sits in East and Wood.
At the opening of the pyramid you detect invigorating sunny top notes: Bergamot, Black Pepper and Mandarin.
When the opening settles you detect Frankincense, Rose and Saffron keeping a amber-incense direction.
The internal accord map is driven by these accords: Balsamic, Citrus, Floral and Wood without random overlap. Background accords such as Amber and Spicy enrich the profile without taking over. The profile is feminine, which clarifies the composition character.
In summary Oud Version sounds complete from start to finish — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the scent structures best understood through real development.
