Oud Eau de Parfum by Acqua di Parma is an amber woody fragrance designed for both women and men, launched in 2019. This rich and sensual composition celebrates rare and exotic ingredients, offering an unforgettable olfactory experience full of elegance and depth. Oud Eau de Parfum by Acqua di Parma is not just a fragrance, but a journey into the world of rare essences, where every breath brings new emotions and rich experiences. A fragrance that leaves an unforgettable impression and radiates luxury and refinement.

Imagine a mysterious evening in an exotic garden, where the air is filled with the scent of citrus and precious woods.

Acqua di Parma Oud eau de parfum for unisex is a distinctive, luxuriously impactful fragrance built on a noble interpretation of oud and the modern elegance of the Acqua di Parma brand. Its character is deeper, warm and sophisticated – ideal for moments when you want to leave a memorable impression without the fragrance feeling cheap or aggressive. In its unisex form, it beautifully adapts to the wearer's personality: on one skin it may come across drier and woodier, on another more delicate and sensual. The oud here does not feel "harsh", but rather smooth and elegant, making it suitable for both the city and evening occasions. If you enjoy oriental woody compositions that are at the same time modern and wearable, this eau de parfum will be a very compelling choice for you. It is a unisex fragrance for those who want to combine the depth of oud with the Italian sense of refined style.

Application

Apply the eau de parfum to pulse points, where the fragrance develops best: the neck, décolletage, wrists, or the area behind the ears. With more intense woody fragrances, a smaller amount is usually sufficient, so I recommend starting with 1–3 sprays and adding more as needed. If you want longer lasting wear and a smoother development on the skin, apply the fragrance to moisturised skin (an unscented body lotion can make a noticeable difference). Avoid rubbing your wrists together – this can disrupt the structure of the fragrance and shorten its "clean" development. Apply to clothing with caution and from a greater distance, as darker oriental notes can be more pronounced and may leave a mark on some fabrics. With this fragrance, less is more – a few precise sprays feel more luxurious than excessive application.

Packaging

Acqua di Parma packaging traditionally feels representative and premium, making it an excellent choice as a gift. The bottle is designed to match the character of the fragrance: elegant, clean lines and a sense of quality from the very first touch. The atomiser allows for comfortable and even dispensing, so you can easily adjust the intensity to suit the occasion – from subtle daytime wear to a more pronounced evening trail. To preserve quality, store the eau de parfum away from direct sunlight, in a dry place and at a stable temperature; heat and light can gradually alter the delicate nuances of the composition. If you use the fragrance less frequently, you will also appreciate that proper storage extends its "fresh" and balanced expression. The distinguished bottle and quality atomiser reinforce the impression of a truly luxurious product.

Composition

Eau de parfum products typically contain Alcohol Denat., Aqua (Water) and Parfum (Fragrance), along with other ingredients and allergens that must be declared in accordance with applicable legislation. The specific list of ingredients (INCI) may vary depending on the batch or market, so I recommend always checking the composition stated directly on the box and label of the product you have purchased. If you have sensitive skin, perform a patch test on a small area first and do not apply the fragrance to irritated skin or immediately after shaving. The product is intended for external use only and is flammable – store it away from sources of heat and open flame. In case of contact with eyes, rinse them with water. The most reliable and up-to-date information on the composition can always be found directly on the packaging of your specific eau de parfum.

The top notes of orange and Calabrian bergamot welcome you with a freshness that awakens your senses. This vibrant and energetic opening paves the way for a more intense and deeper experience.

At the heart of the fragrance, rare agarwood (oud) takes centre stage, alongside amyris and coriander, which bring exoticism and complexity. Oud lends the fragrance a dark and woody depth, while amyris and coriander provide subtle spicy and sweet accents that contribute elegance and sensuality.

The base notes of leather, sandalwood, musk, cedar and patchouli create a warm, deep and earthy finish. This sophisticated drydown leaves a long-lasting trail that acts as a gentle veil of luxury enveloping the wearer.

Top notes: bergamot, orange

Additional Information

Thanks to its depth and warmth, Acqua di Parma Oud is an excellent choice for autumn and winter, but for lovers of woody fragrances it also holds its own on evenings throughout the year. It is at its best on social occasions, at dinner, at the theatre, or whenever you want to feel confident and elegant. As a unisex fragrance, it is also ideal for couples – it can become a shared "signature", while expressing itself slightly differently on each of you. If you typically wear fresh citrus fragrances, Oud may offer a pleasant contrast for cooler days or your evening wardrobe. For a harmonious result, combine it with unscented cosmetics so that the fragrance does not unnecessarily "clash" with your deodorant or shower gel. When you want a fragrance with character that feels mature and premium, Oud is a safe and rewarding choice.
