Croxatto Oud

The CROXATTO OUD batch 2 (2026) is exactly the same formula as batch 1 (2025), except for the Oud. Batch 2 replaces the Bangladesh Oud; round and woody; with a leathery and smoky Laos Oud. Both batches also include a similar variety of Indian Oud, which is why both have a strong Indian Style imprint. While batch No. 1 is closer to versatile, batch No. 2 is less so; it is more animalic.

Batch 2 is the perfume with the highest concentration of top-grade Oud I know of; it is one notch beyond the safe zone. It is also impregnated with the scarce and striking essence of Croton Eluteria, from The Bahamas, of the highest quality, in an amount that probably multiplies by ten that of the perfume that contains the most of it on the entire market. It is a perfume not aligned with industry standards; it is independent.

The production of this formulation faces two not minor obstacles: the difficulty of obtaining the ingredients and their high cost. According to standard market practice, due to production cost alone, this perfume should sell in a physical store for approximately triple its current price. However, by selling it directly, I eliminate distribution and store margins, which allows me to pass all those savings on to the final price.

Even so, the price is not exactly affordable. And given the characteristics of the perfume itself, I can tell you that it is not aimed at the masses either. In fact, if you are in doubt, or Oud has never particularly excited you, I seriously recommend that you do not buy it.

UNFILTERED

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

The presence of natural Oud introduces a distinctive characteristic: the possible appearance of particles over time. These particles are natural sediments coming from the Oud itself, which contains resins, dense oils, and organic compounds that, as they mature in the perfume's alcoholic base, 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 does not hurt to shake it gently before applying.

PRODUCTION LIMITS

The annual availability of Oud and Bahamas Croton, of the right quality and at a not insane price, is limited; in addition, the maturation and maceration times that the perfume requires add complexity to production. For that reason, and to keep quality under control, we have decided to produce it in non-mass runs.

The number of bottles of batch No. 1 was 750 units, in March 2025, sold out in 48 hours.

The number of bottles of batch No. 2 will be 975 units, with reservation available in June 2026.

WHEN WILL BATCH No. 2 BE RELEASED?

On June 9, 2026, the private reservation system activates, for those who signed up in the pre-sale.

On June 22, the reservation system activates for the general public.

It will be delivered worldwide, approximately in October 2026.

If you miss the batch No. 2 purchase, you can sign up for the notice for the private reservation of batch No. 3, which we will soon enable on this page.

HOW TO KNOW WHICH BATCH MY CROXATTO OUD IS FROM?

Each perfume's batch is laser-engraved on the bottle and printed on the box. The code includes the production year. Batch No. 1 had the code "2025A". Batch 2 will have the code "2 (2026)", indicating the batch number and the year.

THE SCENT

You will radiate a 100% Western-style scent, extraordinary. Luxurious, fresh, aged, and flooded with the rarest spices and woods of the tropics. Where the Oud, as the protagonist, imparts all its "vintage leather jacket" character. It evokes the unmistakable calm of Vito Corleone in a leather trench coat down 5th Avenue.

OLFACTORY NOTES

LONGEVITY, PROJECTION, AND USE

An intensity that keeps radiating all day. It makes itself noticed; it does not stay longer than necessary.

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

I recommend using from 1 spray for a discreet impression, up to 7 sprays to go loaded with a full result.

THE BOTTLE

HISTORY

After 4 years in the perfume production business and 2 years studying this multifaceted material that is Oud, I decided to execute a personal composition that represents the way I want to use Oud in a men's perfume.

It has happened to me several times: when I mention to someone in this industry the ingredients, amounts, and costs this formula has, they seem to look at me with pity: who could be so stupid as to insist on wasting these ingredients like this, when all kinds of synthetic emulators can be used at a fraction of the price. Or all kinds of boosters can be added to the Oud: ambrinols, civet, cypriols, etc. The CROXATTO OUD contains no Oud booster or emulator; what smells of Oud in this perfume is pure solid Oud, with no boosters, no substitutes.

I had to insist on the madness of using exactly what I believed was best for this perfume, because, for me and many connoisseurs, there is indeed a difference. When you know low-quality or synthetic Oud, you understand why it cannot hold a candle to top-grade Oud. Even if you have little experience, you see the radical difference.
