BDK Oud Abramad Eau de Parfum

BDK Oud Abramad Eau de Parfum evokes a deep oud rose encounter that begins with a glowing thread of saffron and ginger before revealing a plush Turkish rose warmed by cumin, then unfurls into a resinous trail where agarwood, incense, guaiac, and labdanum mingle with patchouli, castoreum, and a modern amber note. It feels sumptuous yet composed, a refined take on the great oud tradition envisioned for contemporary wear.

Story and Positioning

Part of Collection Matières, Oud Abramad is presented as a bridge between East and West, inspired by the warm stone and grandeur of oriental palaces. Natural Indonesian oud is paired with rose to spotlight sensuality and magnetism, shaping a confident signature for evening and cooler seasons while remaining impeccably modern. 

Bottle and Design

A poised rectangular flacon with a square footprint and thick, crystal clear walls presents the warm amber tone of Oud Abramad with quiet authority. Centered on the face sits an off white plaque bordered by a fine black keyline, its restrained serif lettering leaving generous breathing room around the name. Short, tidy shoulders lead to a compact neck that keeps the proportions upright and composed. A polished onyx cap with a gently arched profile crowns the form, closing with a soft, cushioned snap that feels deliberate in the hand. The base is solid and weighty for a low center of gravity, and the atomizer delivers a narrow, even plume for controlled wear. The carton uses sturdy textured white stock with an inked frame and discreet branding, and a fitted interior cradle holds the bottle snugly for a precise, premium unboxing.
