8 best non-conventional oud perfumes in India

Modern Oud Trends

Once reserved for ceremonial wear or heavy winter nights, modern oud scents have evolved into lighter, more wearable and long-lasting fragrances that appeal more to today’s buyers.

Rose Oud, Secret Alchemist

Unlike traditional oud perfumes in India, this uses only natural essential oils and grain-derived alcohol, making it a light yet long-lasting choice for daily wear.

Oud Bergamot, Jo Malone London

The warm and woody essence of oud remains untouched in this blend—away from sweet florals—with added layers of cedarwood and bergamot, that only enhance the depth.

Sarawak Mazzo, NASO

A unique blend from Indian artisan perfumery label NASO, this vegan fragrance features oud, rose, lavender mandarins, and sandalwood, making it a fresh, zesty, and earthy pick—all at once.

Kesari, Forest Essentials

The aromatic combination of oud and sandalwood is laced with a hint of lemon, just enough to give this oud perfume a mildly citrusy spin.

Carved Oud, Thameen

The deep, earthy blend champions almost all of the notes that are compatible with oud—think patchouli, cedarwood, sandalwood, amber, musk, vetiver, and vanilla.

Oud Minerale, Tom Ford

Fresh, aquatic fragrances cut through the woodiness of the oud in every spritz, spiked with amber. It is perfect for any mood and occasion, from the boardroom to the beach.

Bhāṅg - Transcendence, Kastoor

This plant-based perfume from Kannauj, encapsulates the essence of the Holi festival in a provocative blend headlined by cannabis, oud, and vanilla.

Oud Mukhallat Attar, Ajmal

Representing authentic perfume culture is this oil-based attar from Ajmal—rich, pure, potent, and long-lasting. It features a strong oud scent, with a punch of floral and fruity notes balances the overall fragrance.
