French niche line Juliette Has A Gun has launched Another Oud, (yet) another oud fragrance. Another Oud follows the brand's Midnight Oud.
An original name for an original fragrance. Another Oud suggests an immersion into the Oriental world, version 2.0. It evokes all the modernity, the exuberance, the grandeur, that you go across when you take a walk in the region. The fragrance is a deep woody composition made around an ultra modern interpretation of the famous ingredient. A mysterious and original fragrance creating a unique and signature trail. Another Oud? Just the opposite!
The notes feature bergamot, raspberry, oud wood, norlimbanol, musks and ambroxan.
Juliette Has A Gun Another Oud is available in 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

I appreciate the honesty in their naming but really? I don’t mind oud but lord, this mega trend is brutal! Between the salted caramel, sriracha, and oud, I’m ready to be done with the 10’s.
I now notice you have three oud tags. Very appropriate.
I appreciate the comedy in their naming
Surely you can’t mock the endless spate of throwaway oud releases by joining in with it? Seems very cynical.
Hey, this is from a brand that stuck Ambrox in a bottle, gave it a name, and charged $100 for it! Cynical is maybe an understatement.
Which one is this?
Not A Perfume.
And it wasn’t!
Well at least they’re aware of their own redundancy, though I’m not sure why they’re proud to cash in on it. Oh well, as long as people keep throwing money at unoriginality..
Cynical maybe, but it did make me laugh out loud when I saw the name. I’ll give them points for that at least.
Norlimbanol – how strange to list an aroma chemical as a note. Firmenich has it listed as giving a wood/amber/animal effect. Kind of ruins the general illusion that there is something wood-like causing the wood impression, something amber like creating the amber impression, etc. Then again, once ambroxan is in there anyway…
I am sort of curious about why oud evokes so much resentment, even vitriol (not about your post, Robin, but in general). After all, no one complains about the deluge of rose, amber, sandalwood, etc fragrances on the market.
Along with santal, agarwood is a scent I find very comforting and I am glad that western perfumery is using it as well. Of course, it would be nice if they used actual oud, or good-quality oud..
Oh gosh, I feel neither vitriol nor resentment. And I don’t mind it being used in western perfumery at all. I’m just rolling my eyes because I think the motives for introducing so many fragrances with “oud” in the name (not as a note) are largely financial.
