Amouroud is a niche fragrance house specializing in oud-forward compositions and Eastern-inspired scents. The brand focuses on quality naturals and offers a more considered approach to Oriental perfumery than mainstream alternatives.

Licorice Woods opens with anise and black pepper over a bright elemi top, creating a soft spicy introduction with subtle gourmand undertones. The heart develops into a distinctive licorice accord paired with orchid and jasmine, creating an unusual floral-aromatic core that's both sweet and slightly herbal. The base anchors everything with oud and cedarwood over a warm amber foundation, giving the fragrance depth and staying power without the heavy animalics some oud fragrances lean on.

This is a fragrance for those comfortable with unconventional combinations and willing to spend time getting to know a scent. It works best during cooler months or evening wear, when its spiced aromatics and woody base can unfold properly. The licorice-oud pairing is its defining feature, making it memorable rather than traditionally pretty. Best suited to fragrance enthusiasts who appreciate The Romantic, The Hedonist, and The Reverie aesthetics.

Fragrance Notescommunity verified
Top · 0–30 min
Anise
Anise
Sweet, warm, and intensely licorice-like, anise seed has a Mediterranean, medicinal sweetness that is simultaneously familiar and distinctive. In perfumery anise adds a warm, aromatic depth that bridges spice and gourmand families. Used in oriental compositions and masculine fragrances to add a slightly unusual, warming sweetness.
Black Pepper
Black Pepper
Sharp, dry, and immediately present, black pepper in perfumery is spice without sweetness, heat without heaviness. It adds edge to citrus openings and warmth to woody bases, creating contrast that keeps a fragrance interesting. One of the most versatile spice notes, comfortable in everything from fresh colognes to deep orientals.
elemi
elemi
Light, piney, and slightly citrusy resin from the Philippines, elemi is frankincense's more approachable, transparent cousin. It has a fresh, almost lemony sharpness alongside its resinous warmth, making it useful in both fresh and oriental compositions. A bridge between sharp and deep, fresh and warm.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Licorice
Licorice
Sweet, anise-like, and slightly medicinal, licorice adds a distinctive herbal sweetness that is completely its own. It's simultaneously comforting and slightly challenging, with a dark, slightly bitter edge beneath its sweetness. Found in orientals, gourmands, and some unexpected aromatic compositions where it adds an unusual twist.
Orchid
Orchid
Exotic, slightly sweet, and airy, 'orchid' in perfumery is usually a constructed accord rather than a direct extract, designed to evoke the flower's mysterious tropical beauty. Depending on the perfumer, it can read as vanilla-like and warm or cool and green. A note that suggests luxury and rarity.
Jasmine
Jasmine
Intoxicating, heady, and slightly animalic, jasmine is one of the few flowers that smells as rich in a bottle as it does climbing a garden wall at dusk. It has an almost fleshy, indolic quality that stops it reading as purely 'clean.' Jasmine is a workhorse in both feminine and masculine perfumery, adding depth and soul.

Agarwood (Oud)
Agarwood (Oud)
Cedar
Cedar
Amber
Amber
A warm, resinous accord rather than a single ingredient, amber is typically built from labdanum, benzoin, and vanilla to create a rich, honeyed, almost solar warmth. It's the quintessential base-note family, adding a comforting richness that makes fragrances feel complete. The difference between a fragrance feeling cold and feeling alive.
