Chocoudh by Brogi

Chocoudh

Chocoudh is the latest offering from the house of Brogi, a unisex fragrance launched in 2026 as a celebration of contrasts. Its name, a clever blend of 'chocolate' and 'oud', hints at a rich, enveloping scent experience crafted for those who desire a lasting impression.

Composed by perfumer Maxime Gonzalez-Anton, this creation sits within the oriental woody family but breaks the mould by weaving in powdery and spicy facets, making it a versatile choice for both daytime and evening wear.

The top notes of Chocoudh are a striking medley: saffron delivers its signature metallic shimmer, cinnamon wraps you in instant warmth, and lavender offers a fresh, slightly herbal counterpoint. Together, they set the stage for a profound and sensual journey.

At its heart, orris root brings a refined, powdery softness that tempers the spices. The chocolate note is not sweet or dessert-like; instead, it emerges as a dark, bitter accord that mingles with narcissus, whose floral, subtly animalic character adds an air of mystery.

The base is where the fragrance truly anchors itself. Cashmere provides a plush, velvety feel, while caramel introduces a gentle sweetness that never overwhelms. Oud wood, the star of the show, pairs with amber to leave a lingering, warm, and faintly resinous trail.

Chocoudh evolves beautifully over time: it opens with energy and spice, transitions into a creamy, floral heart, and finally rests on a woody, sweet dry-down. Its sillage is moderate, but it lasts for over eight hours, creating an aura that draws people in.

While it might seem suited to colder months, the initial freshness and balanced composition make it a year-round companion. It appeals to those who love complex fragrances that don't give everything away immediately but reveal themselves gradually, layer by layer.

The packaging, true to Brogi's style, features a sleek bottle with a magnetic cap, reflecting the scent's contemporary spirit. Chocoudh is positioned as a choice for fragrance enthusiasts looking for a unique signature.
