You know that main character energy you’ve been feeling lately? Get ready to take it up a notch by enveloping yourself with the rich, intoxicating scent of oud in the new year. According to Philippine Courtiere, Senior Perfumer at Symrise, this note will be high up on the fragrance charts for 2023. The reason? “For its strength and versatility! It is easy to blend with other notes – floral, fruity, and musky ones to woody and spicy ones, too,” she explains.
