Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“Excentrique Oud by LPDO: Modern Oud at a Fair Price”
Excentrique Oud by LPDO greets you with a sharp, sugary punch of raspberry mingled with a crisp bergamot. It is an immediate and energetic start that skips the heavy, fermented qualities often associated with traditional oud. The fruit is synthetic in nature but bright, setting a playful tone that feels ready for immediate wear.
As the opening settles, the heart of agarwood emerges. This is not a barnyard or animalic oud. It is a clean, polished, and very approachable wood note. The agarwood serves as a steady anchor, providing a dry texture that contrasts nicely against the fading berry sweetness. This transition happens quickly, usually within the first half-hour on the skin.
By the time the fragrance dries down, the composition relies heavily on ambroxan and musk. This is where the modern character of the scent truly shows. The ambroxan adds a laundry-clean radiance, while the musk provides a soft, rounded finish. It prevents the agarwood from ever feeling too sharp or demanding, allowing it to hug the skin for the remainder of its wear.
Performance is respectable for the price point. You can expect about five hours of solid presence. While it is not a beast that fills a room, it does offer a moderate, polite projection. It behaves best in cooler air, where the woodiness feels crisp and the ambroxan does not become cloying. It is a workhorse scent for autumn.
Regarding audience, this sits firmly in the unisex camp. The raspberry keeps it inviting for those who usually avoid heavy woods, while the agarwood adds enough substance for those who find fruity scents too thin. It is an easy pick for someone looking for a daily, non-intrusive signature.
If there is one criticism, it is the lack of surprises. The development is linear and predictable. If you are looking for a complex, evolving artistic experience, this will likely fall short. However, for a daily-use bottle that smells clean, woody, and pleasantly sweet, it performs exactly as intended.
FAQs
What does Excentrique Oud smell like?+
This fragrance opens with a sharp, sweet burst of raspberry and bergamot. It quickly transitions into the main agarwood accord, which stays prominent throughout the heart. The base relies heavily on ambroxan and musk to add a modern, slightly synthetic finish that smooths out the woody notes.
Is this a good signature scent?+
If you enjoy woody, fruit-forward scents, this works well as a daily signature. Its moderate projection ensures you do not overwhelm coworkers, and the raspberry note gives it enough character to remain interesting through a full eight-hour workday in a climate-controlled office.
Which season does Excentrique Oud suit best?+
It performs most reliably during the crisp air of autumn and the chill of winter. The agarwood can feel a bit heavy in intense summer heat, but the bright opening of bergamot makes it versatile enough to handle cool spring days comfortably.
How long does it last on the skin?+
Most wearers report moderate longevity, typically getting around four to six hours of noticeable presence. You might need to spray on your clothing if you want the raspberry top notes to persist longer than the initial dry-down phase allows.
Is this scent masculine or feminine?+
It leans decidedly unisex. The sweetness from the raspberry and the modern musk base make it accessible for women, while the agarwood and bergamot provide enough structural depth for men who prefer contemporary, less traditional woody profiles.
Does this smell like a high-end niche perfume?+
It is often compared to Another Oud by Juliette Has A Gun. It captures a similar woody-fruity vibe at a fraction of the cost, making it a functional alternative for those who enjoy that profile but prefer not to spend premium niche prices.
How strong is the sillage?+
The projection is moderate, generally reaching about an arm's length. It is noticeable to those standing near you, especially in the first two hours, without filling the entire room or becoming an overwhelming cloud.
Is it suitable for formal occasions?+
While it lacks the classic elegance of some formal scents, its clean woodiness makes it appropriate for casual professional settings or dinners. It feels modern and approachable rather than stuffy or overly formal.
Should I blind buy this fragrance?+
Sampling is always recommended if you are new to agarwood. While this version is accessible and fruity, oud can be a polarizing note. Starting with a small vial ensures you appreciate how the ambroxan base interacts with your specific skin chemistry.
Can I layer this with other perfumes?+
Yes, it layers well with vanilla or spicy scents to ground them. Try pairing it with a simple vanilla body oil to dial up the sweetness or a dry cedar perfume to emphasize the woody aspects of the agarwood.
