10 of the Best Oud Fragrances Our Editors Love

Ex Nihilo Oud Vendôme Eau de Parfum ($245)

The notes in this Ex Nihilo perfume blend together so well, you may not have even noticed that it could be categorized as an oud. Deceivingly airy for its scent profile, notes of saffron and ginger open this perfume, followed by agarwood, incense, and musk at its base. If you're a fan of more spicy-smelling fragrances, the incense note is particularly noticeable in this perfume, making it perfect for a chilly fall morning or a night out on the town — whichever is more your vibe.
