Oud 27

Parfumour’s Interpretation of Le Labo Oud 27

Oud 27 is a dark smoky oud scent, and our version keeps that feel: a rich oud and saffron opening, a woody patchouli heart, and a warm animalic base.

The Story Behind the Scent

Le Labo built Oud 27 as a bold, dark oud, pairing rich oud and saffron with dry cedar, patchouli and guaiac wood for a smoky, slightly animalic character.

Our interpretation follows that idea. We keep the oud and saffron rich up top, let cedar, patchouli and guaiac wood darken the middle, and finish on a warm musk and amber base.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

The original is a niche eau de parfum sold at high niche pricing. We build ours at a high perfume oil concentration and sell direct, so you get the same character for a fraction of the price.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who loves a bold, dark, smoky oud and wants a niche style fragrance without the niche price.

Common Questions

How close is it to Le Labo Oud 27?

It stays close to the dark, smoky oud character of the original. It is our own interpretation rather than a copy, but the impression is very familiar.

How can it cost so much less than Le Labo Oud 27?

Most of the price of a niche fragrance goes to the brand name, packaging and retail markup rather than the liquid itself. We put our budget into the scent and sell direct, so you get a comparable experience for a fraction of the price.

Is this the same perfume as Le Labo Oud 27?

No. We do not use the same formula or ingredients. It is an independent interpretation made to evoke the same style at a much lower price.

How long does it last?

You can expect several hours on skin. Spraying onto clothing as well as skin helps it last even longer.

Who is it best for?

It is unisex and is made for evenings and cooler weather.

How should I apply it?

Spray on pulse points such as the wrists, neck and inner elbows. A light spritz on clothing makes it last through the day.
