Feel Oud Sunrise and Set Extrait

Description

Sunrise and Set traces the arc of a full day, opening in a sparkling citrus fougere and settling into a deep, earthy oud by nightfall. Russian Adam and Dmitry Bortnikoff of Feel Oud, a Thailand-based agarwood distillery, designed a scent that moves through distinct phases. Bitter orange and lemon burst out of the opening alongside warm cardamom. The heart shifts to a greener, more grounded register with magnolia, vetiver and powdery orris. By the base, Indian oud, cedarwood and patchouli take over, anchoring the composition in a woody, earthy finish. This is the most versatile of the Feel Oud line: the bright opening works in daylight, and the oud base carries into the evening.

FAQ

Does Sunrise and Set contain real oud?
Yes. Feel Oud was founded as an agarwood distillery, and Sunrise and Set features natural Indian oud oil in its base. The oud here is genuine, not synthetic.

How does it compare to Oud de Grand and Oud Balsam?
Sunrise and Set is the most versatile of the three. Where Oud de Grand and Oud Balsam lead with heavy oud from the opening, Sunrise and Set starts fresh and citrusy, building to its oud base over time. It works in more settings and seasons.

Is it a citrus fragrance or an oud fragrance?
Both. The opening is unmistakably citrus, with bitter orange and lemon. Over the course of two to three hours, the oud, cedarwood and patchouli gradually take over. By the drydown, it reads as a warm, earthy oud with a citrus memory.

Can I wear it in warm weather?
The citrus-heavy opening lends itself to warmer weather better than the other Feel Oud fragrances, though the oud base can still feel heavy on hot days. Spring and early fall are the sweet spot.

Does it contain real oud?
Yes, oud is listed in the pyramid.
