Amouage Oud Zuhal Essence 100 ml – A Meditation on Time Through Oud
Discover Oud Zuhal by Amouage, a 30% Essence for women and men that explores oud through depth, maturation, and time. Black pepper, pink pepper, and cardamom introduce the composition before patchouli and Assam oud form its dark woody heart, settling into amber and Indonesian oud with an infusion patina of Indonesian oud and oakwood.
Amouage presents Oud Zuhal as an olfactory meditation on time, patience, and harvest. The Arabic name Zuhal evokes steadfastness and the distant permanence of eternity, while the fragrance travels from smoky, animalic, dark facets of oud oil toward the softer, rounder, and more luminous texture created through maturation.
Released in 2026, Oud Zuhal is a limited composition available exclusively in the GCC region and part of Amouage’s The Essences collection. The House officially classifies it as Essence | Woody | Ambery | Balsamic, with a 30% oil concentration and a concentrate aged for 42 days.
Top Notes
The fragrance opens with black pepper, pink pepper, and cardamom.
Black pepper introduces dry spicy warmth, while pink pepper brings brighter, more vibrant spice. Cardamom adds a cooling aromatic lift that sharpens the structure and balances the density of the oud.
Heart Notes
At the heart, patchouli meets Assam oud.
Patchouli contributes earthy woody depth, while Assam oud forms the powerful center of the fragrance with dark, smoky, and richly textured facets. Together they reveal the more authoritative side of the composition before its smoother maturation becomes increasingly apparent.
Base Notes
The composition settles into an amber base and Indonesian oud.
Amber softens the structure with warm radiance, while Indonesian oud introduces a rounder woody texture.
Amouage additionally identifies an Infusion Patina of Indonesian Oud and Oakwood, an important part of the fragrance’s aged and polished character.
