L'Occitane has launched Oud & Rose, a new fragrance in the brand's La Collection de Grasse.
Inspired by the lands of perfume, both near and far away, Oud & Rose Eau de Parfum combines a legendary flower from the region of Grasse with a precious raw material emblematic of the Middle East.
This fragrance opens with gentle floral top notes of peony and bergamot which evolve to reveal a sensual rose heart with tinted notes of the cedar flower. A warm base rounds off this luminous scent and leaves behind a woody trail of spicy oud, beautiful vanilla and oriental patchouli.
L'Occitane Oud & Rose is available in 75 ml Eau de Parfum and in matching body products.

I am not oud’d out, and I am on sort of a rose kick, so this sounds very interesting to me, as long as the patchouli doesn’t overpower everything. Plus the bottle is kinda pretty.
Hope it will get to the US — no idea if it’s limited distribution as well.
I’m not as out-ouded as some of you but I am getting thoroughly irritated by the pseudo-Arabic connection… If it’s intended for the Middle Eastern Market doesn’t this emphasis come across as even more cheesy?
Although, I see it is I’m the standard bottle for this line, and is very pretty :/ So maybe I’m just being a grump!
I think one reason we’re seeing all these at the moment is Eid…
Good point.
Well I hope it’s better than Montale’s.
