Oud & incense · paras 2
Designer “oud” is often a studio wood. Niche should say which tree, which farm, which smoke. Between Grasse feedstock, IFRA limits and the split of niche counters versus designer malls, this family is read as a global grammar rather than a single bottle. Concentration is oil in alcohol, not a quality score. EDT (about 5–15%) shows more top; EDP (about 15–20%) shows more heart and base.

No. This atlas is cultural and editorial. Fragrance can irritate; oakmoss, eugenol, citrus oils and musks are common triggers. See a clinician for reactions. Nothing here is a diagnosis, treatment or safety sheet.
