Oud Immortel

Oud Immortel by Byredo (2010)

Released in 2010 and crafted by perfumer Jerome Epinette, Byredo Oud Immortel is one of the most refined niche oud compositions in modern perfumery. Built around limoncello, incense, cardamom, patchouli, papyrus, Brazilian rosewood, tobacco leaf, and moss, this Woody Chypre composition captures the warmth of oud through a sophisticated Western perfumery lens. Oud Immortel has earned cult status among niche enthusiasts as one of the most approachable and refined oud designer fragrances.

Our interpretation captures the same iconic refined oud signature as a long-lasting Eau de Parfum, made in the EU.

Bottle size: 50ml · Concentration: Eau de Parfum (up to 40% perfume oil) · Made in EU

How It Smells

The opening is immediately bright and slightly fizzy with limoncello creating an unusual sparkling citrus introduction. Warm cardamom and refined incense add aromatic depth that signals the oud-driven heart ahead.

The heart blooms with smooth patchouli, refined papyrus, and warm Brazilian rosewood, building the woody-spicy character that distinguishes Oud Immortel from typical oud compositions. The dry-down settles on rich tobacco leaf and dignified moss. A base that lingers on skin for many hours with sophisticated, slightly smoky, deeply refined oud depth.
