Swiss Arabian Oud 74 Eau de Parfum
A near-linear Indian oud fragrance for those who want the wood itself front and centre, softened by sweet notes and amber.
Swiss Arabian Oud 74 Eau de Parfum, launched in 2021, is built almost entirely around Indian oud, making it one of the most straightforward oud fragrances in the brand's numbered collection. There is little distraction from other note families here — this is for people who want the wood itself.
What does Oud 74 smell like?
Indian oud carries the fragrance from open to close, appearing in the top, heart and base. It reads dark, slightly medicinal and woody in the way genuine oud does, with sweet notes and amber layered in to round off the sharper edges and add warmth. There is no strong floral or fruity detour; the composition stays close to its central material throughout.
- Top notes: Indian Oud
- Heart notes: Indian Oud, Agarwood (Oud)
- Base notes: Indian Oud, Sweet Notes, Amber
Performance and when to wear it
Oud 74 is typically long-lasting on skin, as concentrated oud-forward fragrances tend to be. It projects noticeably in the first hour before settling into a closer, skin-hugging trail. This is a cold-weather, evening fragrance rather than an office-friendly daytime one, given its strength and directness.
Who is it for?
Oud 74 suits committed oud fans who want the note presented plainly rather than blended into a floral or gourmand structure. It is marketed as unisex, though its intensity means it will read as a statement fragrance for most wearers rather than an everyday option.

Spray the heavier scent first, then the lighter one on top. Start with two scents — more than three quickly becomes muddled. Always test on skin first.
