London takes its cue from Widian’s oud-based fragrance of the same name, pairing smoky agarwood with cypress and violet for a character that’s woody and slightly dark rather than sweet or fresh. Underneath, a fruity-floral thread and soft leather keep it from feeling austere. It’s a fit for anyone drawn to oud fragrances but wanting something layered with brightness, rather than a purely heavy, resinous scent.
How London smells
Opening: Oud wood, cypress and violet open with a dry, woody character.
Heart: A juicy, fruity raspberry heart with a soft touch of sweetness.
Drydown: Leather, dry amber, animalic musk and vanilla create a warm, sensual finish.
London feels smoky, woody and a touch dark, with just enough fruity brightness to keep it from becoming heavy. The leather-amber base gives it real depth and a slightly rugged character, while the violet and raspberry add unexpected softness. It’s a layered, characterful scent rather than a simple, single-note oud.
When to wear it
With its smoky, woody character, London is particularly suited to autumn and winter wear, when richer scents feel most fitting. It also works well for evenings or occasions where a distinctive, slightly unconventional scent is welcome, rather than a light, everyday choice. Unisex by nature, it suits anyone wanting an oud fragrance with more nuance.
