Franck Boclet Oud Cologne

Details and Care

Franck Boclet Oud is an amber spicy fragrance with woody and floral accords. It opens with an enchanting blend of cumin and ginger paired with carnation, a throwback to vintage 1980s men's scents. Ityys single oud note brings in smoky and leathery tones, giving the heart a potent, dark, and woody aroma. This fragrance ends with a cedar and patchouli base, creating an earthy and clean dry-down with evergreen undertones. 

Released in 2013, Franck Boclet Oud is the creation of perfumer Melanie Leroux. It's one of more than four dozen fragrances from the French fashion brand, each of which features a single central note around which the perfumer builds to accentuate it. Other renowned perfumers such as Alexis Dadier have crafted these signature scents. Similar to the rest of the Franck Boclet collection, Oud is packaged in a sophisticated rectangular glass bottle bearing an elegant minimalist label and a simple black cap.
