Croxatto Oud

The CROXATTO OUD is composed of exceptional and abundant Ouds, produced in the regions of Assam (India) and Bangladesh. It is the Western-style perfume with the highest concentration of superior-grade Oud that I know of. Moreover, it is infused with the rare and striking essence of Croton Eluteria, sourced from the Bahamas, of the highest quality, in a quantity that likely exceeds by tenfold that of any other perfume on the market that contains it. It is a perfume that does not conform to industry standards — it is independent.

The production of this formulation faces two major obstacles: the high cost of its ingredients and the difficulty of sourcing them. According to standard market practice, given its production cost, this perfume should retail in physical stores for approximately double its current price. However, by marketing it directly, I eliminate distribution and retail margins, passing all those savings on to the final price.

Even so, the price is not exactly affordable. Moreover, due to the characteristics of the perfume itself, I can tell you it is not aimed at the masses. If you are in doubt, or Oud has never particularly appealed to you, I recommend you not to purchase it.

UNFILTERED

It is bottled unfiltered to preserve the aromatic richness of Oud in all its natural complexity. This decision allows the perfume to continue evolving over time, developing unique nuances and an increasingly complex character.

The presence of natural Oud introduces a distinctive feature: the possible appearance of particles over time. These particles are natural sediments from the Oud itself, which contains resins, dense oils, and organic compounds that, as they mature in the alcoholic base of the perfume, may subtly precipitate. They may appear as fine clouds at the bottom of the bottle.

If the bottle has remained still for several days, it is not a bad idea to gently swirl it before applying.

PRODUCTION LIMITS

The annual availability of Oud and Croton from the Bahamas, of the right quality and at a reasonable price, is limited; in addition, the two months of maturation and six months of maceration required by the perfume add complexity to production. For this reason, and to maintain quality control, we have decided to produce it in small, non-massive runs.

The total number of bottles in Batch No. 1 is 750 units. Initially, we offered 550 with the intention of keeping 200 for direct sale. However, during the private reservation process, the 550-reservation limit was exceeded, so we decided to release all units for reservation; there will be no direct sale.

If you miss out on purchasing Batch No. 1, you can sign up for the notification for the private reservation of Batch No. 2, available on this same page here.

WHEN WILL BATCH NO. 2 BE RELEASED?

We do not know yet, but due to the search for Oud, the selection of the Croton Bahamas, and the maturation and maceration times, we anticipate a long wait, possibly 2026.

At this moment, we are already searching for the special Oud for Batch No. 2. As the process advances, we will keep you informed of the details.

HOW TO KNOW WHICH BATCH MY CROXATTO OUD BELONGS TO

The batch of each perfume is laser-engraved on the base of the bottle and printed on the box. The code includes the year of production and a letter indicating the lot number of that year: the first is "A," the second "B," and so on. For example, Batch No. 1 will bear the code "2025A."

THE SCENT

You will radiate an extraordinary Italian-style aroma. Luxurious, fresh, matured, and infused with the rarest spices and tropical woods. Here, Oud, as the protagonist, imparts its full “vintage leather jacket” character. It evokes the unmistakable calm of Vito Corleone in a leather trench coat on 5th Avenue.

OLFACTORY NOTES

DURATION, PROJECTION AND USAGE

An intensity that continues radiating all day. It makes itself noticed, yet never overstays its welcome.

The generous use of natural Oud, in particular, gives it an enduring character and nobility.

I recommend using from 1 spray for a discreet impression, up to 7 sprays for a fully intense result.

THE BOTTLE

HISTORY

After four years in the perfume production business and two years studying this multifaceted material, which is Oud, I decided to create a personal composition that represents the way I want to use Oud in a men’s fragrance.

It has happened to me several times: when I tell someone from this industry about the ingredients, quantities, and costs of this formula, they seem to look at me with pity—who could be so foolish as to waste these ingredients in such a way, when all kinds of synthetic emulators can be used at a fraction of the price. Or when all sorts of boosters can be added to Oud: ambrinols, civet, cypriols, etc. CROXATTO OUD contains no Oud boosters or emulators; the Oud you smell in this perfume is pure, solid Oud—with no reinforcements and no substitutes.

I had to insist on the “madness” of using exactly what I believed was best for this perfume, because for me and for many connoisseurs, there truly is a difference. When you know low-quality or synthetic Oud, you understand why it cannot compare to superior grade. Even with little experience, you can perceive the radical difference.
