Astrophil&Stella - Into The Oud

Into The Oud by Astrophil & Stella is a unisex fragrance launched in 2020, composed by master perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour. Bold, textured, and richly atmospheric, this scent explores oud through the lens of gourmand warmth, spice, and deep resinous woods—creating a journey that is as mysterious as it is intoxicating.

The opening greets you with a striking trio of rum, pepper, and orange. Rum adds boozy sweetness and warmth, pepper introduces a sharp, spicy edge, and orange brightens the composition with a citrus lift. Together, they create an inviting yet dramatic introduction.

In the heart, the fragrance deepens into an opulent blend of saffron, toffee, and davana. Saffron provides its signature golden spice, toffee adds delectable caramel richness, and davana contributes a fruity, herbal sweetness—all merging into a warm, sensual gourmand core.

The base is where the fragrance fully embraces its name: agarwood (oud) takes center stage, supported by glowing amber and earthy oakmoss. The oud is smooth yet powerful, balanced by amber’s warmth and oakmoss’s grounding depth.

Into The Oud is luxurious, addictive, and beautifully layered—a perfect choice for those who love oud with a modern, gourmand twist.
