Swiss Arabian Oud 07 Eau de Parfum, composed by perfumer Jordi Fernández and launched in 2021, is one of the sweeter entries in the brand's numbered Oud line. It leans gourmand rather than resinous, built around praline and vanilla instead of smoke or incense.

What does Oud 07 smell like?

Saffron and rose open the fragrance with a warm, slightly spicy floral tone. The heart brings in praline and akigalawood alongside agarwood and white amber, giving a nutty, almost dessert-like sweetness that sits comfortably next to the wood. Vanilla and musk close things out, leaving a soft, cosy trail rather than a heavy or smoky one.

  • Top notes: Saffron, Rose
  • Heart notes: Praline, Akigalawood, Agarwood (Oud), White Amber
  • Base notes: Vanilla, Musk

Performance and when to wear it

Oud 07 is typically moderate to long-lasting on skin, with the vanilla and musk base helping it hold its sweetness for hours after application. It suits cooler evenings and colder months best, where its gourmand warmth feels seasonally appropriate, though it is soft enough not to overwhelm in a work setting.

Who is it for?

Oud 07 is marketed as unisex and suits anyone who enjoys sweet, praline-tinged fragrances but wants some oud woodiness underneath rather than a pure gourmand. It is a friendlier, more approachable oud for people who find traditional oud too intense.

Layering Tip

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.

How to Layer Oud 07

Combine Oud 07 with these partners to create something new. Spray the heavier scent first, let it settle, then add the accent on top. These are note-based suggestions — a great starting point to experiment with.

Layer Oud 07 with

Swiss Arabian Oud Malaki

How: Spray 3-4 sprays of Swiss Arabian Oud 07 on chest and clothing as the base layer, then dab 1-2 drops of Swiss Arabian Oud Malaki on pulse points to seal it in and extend wear.

Result: Oud Malaki shares agarwood, musk, rose with Oud 07, so the pairing deepens the dry-down without fighting for attention.

How: 3-4 sprays of Swiss Arabian Oud 07 on chest and clothing as the base, then 1-2 sprays of Lattafa Badee Al Oud Honor & Glory on the neck and wrists to lift the top.

Result: Deep ambery oud builds on Oud 07's base, giving it more sweetness and projection for evening wear.
