Launched in 2010, OUD IMMORTEL by Byredo was created by Jérôme Epinette and built around oud, a wood of deep cultural significance referenced in the ancient Sanskrit Vedas and closely linked to incense and traditional perfumery. Here, that idea does not become lush or ornate. Instead, the fragrance approaches oud through a drier, more measured composition, where wood feels contemplative rather than dramatic. The opening of incense and cardamom sets that tone immediately: smoky, spiced and composed, with a quiet intensity that feels deliberate from the first moments on skin. It gives off a distinct sense of calm, as though the scent creates its own intimate atmosphere.
In the heart, Brazilian rosewood, papyrus and patchouli bring texture and structure. The rosewood introduces a smoother woody facet, while papyrus sharpens the profile with something dry, fibrous and almost mineral. Patchouli adds an earthy undertone that connects naturally with the oud theme without making the fragrance feel heavy. The development is steady in character, yet nuanced in the way smoke, wood and earth shift against one another. It is a perfume that speaks softly, but with definition.
The base of moss, tobacco leaves and oud gives the composition its lasting mood: dark, grounded and restrained. Moss lends a damp green depth; tobacco leaves add density and a slightly cured, textured feel; and oud remains the conceptual and olfactory anchor, woven into the structure rather than displayed as excess. The result is a unisex woody fragrance with poise and cultural resonance, suited to those drawn to scents that feel introspective, refined and quietly authoritative.
OUD IMMORTEL by Byredo is a woody composition built around oud with a restrained, culturally rooted point of view. Incense, dry woods and tobacco shape a scent with calm presence and a dark, controlled elegance.
