About the Fragrance
Oud Royal was conceived as a reinterpretation of oud, a wood that is more precious than gold, thereby reflecting the designer’s love of the refined and exceptional. Like a true Armani Privé signature, it is an incense-like, smoky, and charred fragrance, crafted for both men and women who appreciate luxury. With its amber, spicy, and woody notes, the scent conveys the image of a majestic and mysterious Orient, making a powerful statement.
