Deep Dive Into Oud Perfumes
There are many different types of oud perfumes, each with its own distinct scent. While some oud perfumes are light and fresh, others are rich and smoky. Oud has gained popularity and interest among complex fragrance formulation lovers. Oud is often a base note in perfume composition. This allows the scent to remain on one’s skin long after other layers of scents have dissipated. Oud base notes can be heavier or more intense and lasts long for up to six hours. While they have a smell of their own, they also enhance the fragrance of other ingredients in a perfume composition.
Oud perfumes often have a stigma of being very strong or that it’s not suitable for the weather in Singapore. On the contrary, oud fragrances are all about how and where you wear them. While they can definitely be on the intense side of the perfume notes spectrum, there’s a time and occasion for these special perfumes to shine, in Singapore’s weather or any other climate around the world!

However, there are a few general guidelines that can be followed. For example, lighter ouds are typically more suited for daytime wear, while heavier ouds are suited for evening wear. Optimally, oud perfumes are best worn in the early evening or night as the temperature is slightly cooler.
