This Month’s Must-Try Fragrance: Atkinsons’ The Other Side of Oud
If one of your favourite morning rituals is visiting your local café for a truly great cup of coffee, we have a fragrance for you to try. The ingredients in Atkinsons’ The Other Side of Oud read like the recipe for a gourmet latte: roasted coffee beans, vanilla absolute, cinnamon and ginger. This remarkable scent for her or him is comforting and warm and evokes the mood of spending time in a Starbucks café on a Sunday morning.
The name is almost a little misleading as the oud note (agarwood) is so light and fresh as to be almost unidentifiable. The perfumers handle it with such a gentle hand that it blends seamlessly with the coffee and vanilla. Coffee blossom gives it a slight floral facet that balances the woods.
Atkinsons The Other Side of Oud is classified as an amber-woody fragrance for him or her that takes a classic oud composition and re-imagines it with delectable gourmand notes. Perfumers Maurice Roucel and Pierre-Constantin Gueros approach the composition as if they were baristas blending notes of roasted coffee, vanilla absolute, cinnamon and ginger. A hint of geranium and coffee blossom adds a fresh twist. And high quality oud completes the scent. This is a must-smell for any fragrance enthusiast.
