Original Oud
Mizensir is a niche fragrance house founded by perfumer Christophe Raoux, known for creating intense, character-driven compositions that prioritize quality raw materials. Original Oud launched in 2016 as a statement piece for the brand, establishing their reputation for uncompromising oud fragrances.
Original Oud opens with spiced cardamom and geranium, immediately establishing a warm, slightly peppery character. The heart deepens considerably with prominent leather and woody notes anchored by iris and gurjan balsam, which adds a resinous sweetness. Laotian oud dominates the base alongside white wood and sandalwood, creating a dense, animalic finish that's simultaneously dry and creamy. The composition balances oud's typically challenging qualities with leather and spice, resulting in something that reads as sophisticated rather than purely incense-heavy.
This fragrance suits those comfortable with bold, assertive scents and genuine oud -- it doesn't soften or prettify the material. It works well in cool seasons or evening wear, and performs across gender lines without apology. If you're drawn to The Dark Poet, The Sensualist, or The Mystic, Original Oud will likely resonate.
