Introducing Black Oud by Laurence Dumont

If you are looking for a fragrance that speaks softly yet confidently, take a look at Black Oud by the French house Laurence Dumont.

Released in 2013, this eau de parfum (EDP) is a unisex fragrance belonging to the oriental and woody families.

It is not a loud, compliment-getting hit, but rather a personal story you share only with those closest to you.

Character and Sillage

Black Oud’s sillage is virtually imperceptible, making it an ideal choice for those who value intimacy and do not want their fragrance to arrive several metres ahead of them.

It is a cocooning fragrance that unfolds gradually, inviting those around you to come closer.

Despite its modest sillage, its longevity on skin and clothing is pleasing: it stays with you for several hours, shifting through different facets.

The Laurence Dumont Brand

Laurence Dumont is a French perfume house founded in 2000. Its story is one of family heritage, where a passion for fragrance is passed down from generation to generation.

Black Oud embodies this philosophy, blending oriental exoticism with French elegance. Every bottle is the result of painstaking work and a love of detail.

When to Wear It and What to Pair It With

Thanks to its understated character, Black Oud is suitable for the office, a romantic evening, or a cosy day at home.

It is a versatile fragrance that does not overwhelm the space, yet creates an aura of mystery.

If you enjoy similar woody-oriental compositions, explore these fragrances: Alex Simone En Terrasse, The Spirit of Dubai Majalis, and The House of Oud Blessing Silence.

Impression and Atmosphere

Black Oud is a beautiful, deep, and highly harmonious woody-oriental unisex fragrance.

It opens with light, creamy woody notes, gradually revealing a velvety accord of oud and patchouli before settling into luxurious sandalwood.

It is a fragrance for those seeking something special—not loud, but memorable.

A sandalwood base lends the fragrance softness and a long-lasting, comforting trail. Each layer of the pyramid flows smoothly into the next, without abrupt transitions, highlighting the perfumers’ craftsmanship.

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.
Persistence

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

How magnificent it is! The smell of burnt wood is simply mesmerizing, and its alluring and enchanting sound reminds one of the atmosphere of an Indian bazaar or a cozy shop with exotic goods. But without a companion, it might seem too natural, so it's better to combine it with something else
