By Kilian Pure Oud: History and Philosophy

Released in 2009, the fragrance By Kilian Pure Oud embodies the essence of luxury and mystery.

As part of By Kilian, the brand founded by Kilian Hennessy in Paris, this perfume reflects the artistic rebellion and seductive philosophy inherited from the cognac dynasty.

Belonging to the Arabian Nights collection, Pure Oud transports you to the world of Eastern legends, where each burst of fragrance tells its own story.

Classified as unisex and belonging to the Oriental and Woody families, it offers versatility and depth.

Positioning and How to Wear

With a medium trail, By Kilian Pure Oud is ideal for those seeking a balance between subtlety and impact.

Its concentration as perfume water ensures longevity, making it perfect for evening events, romantic dinners, or any occasion where you want to leave an unforgettable impression.

The fragrance easily pairs with other oriental notes, allowing you to personalize your experience.

Creators of the Fragrance

Behind the creation of Pure Oud are two outstanding perfumers: Calice Asancheva-Becker and Kilian Hennessy.

Becker, known for her complex and emotional compositions, brings depth and nuances to the fragrance, while Hennessy, as the visionary founder, ensures that every note aligns with the brand's ethics, blending luxury and rebellion.

Their collaboration results in a fragrance that is both timeless and contemporary, solidifying By Kilian's reputation as a leader in niche perfumery.

For fans of oud and oriental accords, we recommend exploring Guerlain Oud Essentiel, which offers a more floral interpretation, Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud with its refined elegance, and Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Velvet Mood Extrait de Parfum for an ultra-luxurious experience.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance.

Too spicy, and also resinous. It's not really an option for a young guy, more for an older, respectable man. The scent is long-lasting, leaves a trail, but there's a certain sadness in it
3/5

I can't call this oud gentle. It opened very strongly on me, with a bright bitterness. It didn't work out for us, the bitterness is felt from the very beginning to the very end. But the longevity is impressive
4/5
4
The oud scent is quite ordinary, but for those who appreciate oud, it will definitely appeal. Not too intrusive, moderate and restrained, it doesn't overwhelm the senses. Its longevity and sillage are good, so you don't have to worry about it disappearing quickly
4/5

Oud is truly something mysterious. The scent is intriguing, it's multi-layered, and here not only oud, but also resins and spices are clearly audible. Honestly, I think this is more suitable for men )
5/5

What an amazing and captivating scent! Although it's not entirely my style, I still liked it. It seems more suitable for men. The longevity is simply stunning, and the sillage is so attractive, like a magnet. The oud in this perfume is simply magnificent, especially in combination with spices and resins. This is truly something special! )))
3/5

It seems like this is just another fragrance trying to replicate the success of Extreme Oud. Balsamic notes with a light smokiness, but honestly, it smells quite dirty. However, on cold skin, it's not aggressive at all; instead, it feels quite close and intimate 🌬️
4/5
4
This fragrance is simply awful, so resinous and cloying that you don't even want to wear it in cold weather. In the heat, it would totally suffocate you, as if someone decided to douse you in cheap cologne. The oud notes are just overwhelming, it gives the impression you're in some men's restroom 😤
3/5

yes, this really reminds me of snake wood. it's rich, resinous, and quite warm, but for this price, I'd want to see more interesting nuances and harmony, which, unfortunately, are lacking
5/5
5
In this line, the oud really impressed me. It's not at all like Montale's, which just hits you in the nose. Here, it's more natural, though not soft. The fragrance is simply magnificent, with wonderful woody notes of the East. The longevity is also top-notch! ))
4/5

The oud scent really grabs attention, it's rich and vibrant. Although I can't say it unfolds in a multifaceted way, its expensiveness and status are palpable. Overall, it's an interesting choice for those who appreciate unique notes!!!
5/5
5
The fragrance is interesting, of course, but on the skin, it sounds somehow rough. These smoldering woods with oud are not the best combination. On a man, maybe it looks better, but it didn't work for me. I don't know what's mysterious about it, but it's definitely not for me
