About

Dark Aoud by Maison Alhambra is a deeply mysterious and evocative oriental woody fragrance designed for both women and men. Launched in 2024, this new olfactory creation exudes a bold and powerful presence, wrapping the wearer in a veil of smoky richness and dark elegance. It's a scent crafted for those who embrace intensity and sophistication in equal measure — a fragrance that speaks of strength, allure, and exotic charm.

From the very first spray, Dark Aoud commands attention with its robust opening — a blend of precious woods and dark spices that create an atmosphere of depth and intrigue. The heart unfolds to reveal a strong oud accord, earthy and resinous, paired with subtle balsamic and amber undertones. This middle phase is where the fragrance begins to show its true personality — complex, seductive, and richly layered, echoing the warmth of ancient rituals and smoky incense trails.

As it settles, Dark Aoud evolves into a beautifully balanced dry down of leathery notes, soft musks, and oriental resins that linger with a warm, almost mystical sensuality. It is the kind of scent that clings to the skin and clothing, leaving a memorable signature wherever it is worn. Perfect for evening wear or special occasions, Dark Aoud is more than just a fragrance — it is an olfactive journey into the heart of the exotic, crafted for modern connoisseurs who desire depth and intensity in their scent story.
