Intense Oud (by Gucci, composed by master perfumer Aurelien Guichard) belongs primarily to the Amber Woody / Balsamic Leather fragrance family. Widely regarded as one of the most opulent and universally lauded designer wood-based creations, Gucci Intense Oud delivers a rich, regal interpretation of Eastern perfumery tailored with Western elegance. Built without a traditional volatile citrus top, it opens immediately with a dark, smoky surge of incense and frankincense, transitions into a warm, intoxicating heart of amber, leather, and subtle floral nuances, and grounds on a deep, lingering base of precious agarwood (oud) and dry woody notes.
