BORN TO STAND OUD • Oud Candy
Oud Candy - Extrait Extreme
The scent of brown sugar melting on a warm stove evokes pure comfort—sweet, buttery, and rich. But as it begins to darken and burn, it transforms, revealing a smoky intensity that demands attention. Oud Candy captures this shift—where sweetness deepens into something bold, mysterious, and unforgettable. It’s a fragrance that fuses indulgent warmth with smoky sophistication, perfectly balancing light and shadow.
Candy begins with a decadent rush of molten brown sugar, creamy nuts, and warm milk—an inviting embrace of sweetness. As it unfolds, delicate white florals lend elegance and softness. Then, the mood deepens: smoky oud, golden saffron, and dark woods rise through layers of caramel and vanilla. Accents of leather and oakmoss leave a sensual, smoldering trail. At once cozy and daring, Oud Candy is an intoxicating dive into the darker side of desire.
