Aoud Black Candy

$130.00

Blackcurrant and cherry in the opening of Aoud Black Candy give the oud something unexpected to work against: a dark fruit tartness that the oud note absorbs and transforms into a richer accord than either material would produce alone. Rose arrives in the heart alongside the oud, its warmth bridging the fruit opening and the resinous base. Vanilla and amber give the drydown a sweetness that the blackcurrant opening foreshadowed, and patchouli keeps the composition from reading as a simple sweet oud despite the accumulation of warm materials.

Why We Carry This

The dark fruit opener against oud is the compositional choice that distinguishes Aoud Black Candy within the Mancera range. Blackcurrant in particular has a tartness that forces the oud to earn its sweetness rather than supplying it on its own. Among the Mancera sweet ouds, this is the most complex in its opening act.
