While I wasn’t a fan of Oud Fortius, Oud Altius is a different story - this is much more oud focused in my opinion, with amazing sweet fruits and florals. It initially opens with a fantastic juicy raspberry note backed up by warm spices, mainly cinnamon and cardamom. From here the raspberry stays prominent as soft florals of rose, iris and saffron join the party with a gorgeously soft frankincense. A gorgeous oud and leather then emerges in the base which is both smooth yet rugged. Oud, rose, saffron and raspberry isn’t a new combination and yet it never gets tiring. This fragrance achieves the same thing as Ombre Nomade without inducing headaches for everyone around you. It’s far more subdued and sophisticated with great quality.
