Description Oud Nude softens Guerlain's oud into something warm, gourmand, and wearable rather than heavy or medicinal. Released in 2022 as part of the exclusive L'Art et la Matière collection and composed by perfumer Delphine Jelk, it opens on almond, incense, and cumin, moves through a fruity Atlas cedar-and-raspberry heart, and settles into a genuinely oud-forward base of oud wood, vanilla, musk, and sandalwood. Unlike louder, more resinous oud fragrances, Oud Nude leans creamy and sweet — the almond and vanilla keep the agarwood from ever turning sharp. As with the rest of L'Art et la Matière, it's a boutique-only release rarely found outside Guerlain's own counters. Scent Character Woody: 34% Oud: 34% Sweet: 32% Translation: a near-even split between woody, oud, and sweet character — this is a true oud composition built on real agarwood in the base, just rendered gourmand and creamy rather than smoky or sharp.

A sample is the realistic way in: 1mL for $7.99, 5mL for $21.49, or 10mL for $38.49, enough to properly test how this gourmand oud develops on your skin. 100% Authentic, From Authorized Distributors Every sample we decant is drawn from authentic Guerlain stock sourced through authorized distributors — never diluted, never counterfeit. We're backed by 200,000+ completed orders and a 4.9★ Trustpilot rating, with free U.S. shipping on orders over $100 and hassle-free returns if a fragrance isn't right for you. FAQ Is Oud Nude for men or women? It's unisex, built around a creamy, gourmand oud accord that wears well on anyone. What's the longevity like? Roughly 7–9 hours on skin. How does it project? Moderate-to-strong sillage, noticeable for the first couple of hours before settling closer to the skin. Why is this only sold as a sample? Oud Nude belongs to Guerlain's L'Art et la Matière collection, a rare boutique line not commonly sold in full bottles. We offer it in 1mL, 5mL, and 10mL decants so you can experience this rare oud without hunting down a full bottle.
