About Le Oud XI
Le Oud XI: An Oriental Woody with a Smoky Core
Le Oud XI, from Contraband, is a unisex scent in the oriental woody family. It places the gravity of oud against the vivid, tangy lift of passion fruit, creating a perfume of striking contrasts.
Leather and pepper mark the opening, while a floral heart and a resinous base carry the composition into darker, warmer territory. The result feels confident and unhurried.
At the top, passion fruit, leather and pepper make themselves known. The passion fruit gives a juicy brightness, whilst leather adds texture and pepper supplies an immediate, spicy heat.
The heart is made up of Turkish rose, geranium and tea. Turkish rose and geranium soften the blend with a floral, faintly powdery elegance; tea introduces a clean edge that helps balance the intensity.
The base brings together oud wood, patchouli, incense, sandalwood and vanilla. It is smoky, balsamic and amber-toned, with a rich woody presence that anchors the composition.
In feel, it is a woody oriental with warm spice, a touch of powder and a subtly sweet finish. Sandalwood and vanilla round out the rougher aspects of the oud, making it wearable and refined.
Contraband has released Le Oud XI as a men’s and women’s fragrance, with no perfumer credited and no launch year stated. The blend nevertheless demonstrates a clear, coherent vision: contemporary oud with a classic oriental soul.
This will suit fans of woody orientals, oud devotees, and anyone looking for a unisex perfume that combines fresh spice, leather, and smoky depth.
Le Oud XI is an assured woody oriental, deftly pairing juicy fruit with floral polish and a dark oud base. It offers both edge and elegance in one well-rounded bottle.
