Les Eaux Primordiales has two oud fragrances in its range, and I was curious to compare them. I previously wrote that Oud Superfluide is a modern interpretation of oud. Oud Supermassive, however, is a completely different story. Here, oud takes the opposite direction: it is warm and closer to the classic oriental style. One note gives way to another, and the fragrance unfolds gradually. It opens with a rich accord of sweet mandarin and ripe peach. Almost immediately, a leather accord with a soft powdery nuance appears in the background, along with the fruity facets of osmanthus. As the sweetness begins to fade, the fragrance becomes more leathery and velvety. A warm, noble oud emerges, gradually coming to the forefront. The olibanum note adds even more warmth, resinous depth, and spice to the composition. In the drydown, the skin is left with a leather-resinous-woody trail with a barely perceptible sweetness. I feel that this fragrance has stronger projection than Oud Superfluide and may not be an everyday scent. At the same time, it smells luxurious, multifaceted, and truly beautiful.
Oud Supermassive
Country: France
Oud Supermassive reveals an unapologetically bold interpretation of the mythical ingredient. From the very first notes, oud takes center stage, enveloped in olibanum and supple leather. Its powerful character is illuminated by a delicate hint of osmanthus, peach, passion fruit, bringing a subtle, almost solar brightness. In the base, tobacco extends the warmth of the sacred wood, leaving a deep, sensual, and lingering trail on the skin. A personal vision of oud , one that bridges cultures and contrasts, merging ancestral depth with contemporary freshness. A new way of creating, where opposites collide to reveal perfect harmony.
