Chris Maurice composed Gentle Oud for Nomade Perfumes in 2022 as an accessible take on resinous wood. It opens with a dry rasp of saffron, black pepper, and ground nutmeg before softening into smooth cedar wood and dark patchouli. The base anchors the composition with warm amber, sweet benzoin, and a polite, non-animalic oud note. Instead of heavy barnyard notes, you get a clean leather texture smoothed out by fluffy musk. It sits close to the skin after the first hour, making it an easy option for crisp autumn evenings or casual office wear in colder weather.
