Oud Masira, from Choix was released in 2023. The perfumer behind this creation is Luca Gritti. It has the top notes of Birch, Plum, and Rum, middle notes of Leather, Nutmeg, and Rose, and base notes of Amber, Cambodian Oud, and Tonka Bean.
Oud Masira was one of those unexpected discoveries which really surprised me, in a fantastic way. This scent is primarily based around the rich darkness of leather alongside brooding oud. Initially however, it opens with a slightly boozy plum and smoky birch which is insatiably addictive I must say. From here this is where the leather starts to shine - it’s intensely rich and masculine, yet smooth and sophisticated to perfectly match the gentle, dreamy oud in the base. It almost smells like incense should be listed here too as I find it very smoky overall. There’s a very subtle nutty sweetness coming from tonka, and a hint of spicy nutmeg, but overall it’s all about the oud and leather here. This is a really lovely scent overall but I feel like the longevity should be a bit better considering how powerful it comes across in the opening.
