OUDONISM

Oudonism is the unisex extrait de parfum by Devertere, the Piedmontese house founded in Ciriè by Lorenzo and Federico Cavoretto, father and son. Signed by perfumer Sofia Bardelli, it is a leathery, fruity amber that takes the most classic of Arabian accords and steers it towards something new.

The Fragrance

Devertere in Latin means to deviate, to change direction, but also to amuse: it is the attitude of those who leave the marked road to explore new possibilities. Oudonism applies it to oud: the meeting of Middle Eastern opulence and European elegance, a tribute to oud reinterpreted in a contemporary key. The house describes it in poetic words: "leather and heart, gems set in wood inlaid with absinthe", the gift at the end of the hunt, the fire that warms the soul. It is a bold sensory journey for those who want to stand out.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is surprising: lychee purée and Sicilian almond are sweet and juicy, blackcurrant adds a tart edge, pink pepper and tagetes a spicy, green vibration. After a few minutes the heart takes shape with rose and saffron, warmed by resinous styrax and elemi, while prickly juniper keeps everything on the dry side. In the following hours the base takes over: oud and leather, softened by benzoin and amber, with musk and smoky cypriol closing with a long, sensual trail.

Who We Recommend Oudonism To

We recommend Oudonism to those who love oud but are looking for a more modern interpretation, with a fruity opening that makes it approachable even for those who have never tried it. It is perfect for the evening, for important occasions and for the cold season, when its warm trail can fully express itself. Unisex, it seduces those who want to be noticed.

Fragrance Characteristics

Our Opinion

On the first spray we expected the usual Arabian oud and instead got a juicy, almost gourmand start before everything turned dark: that leap is what makes it memorable. For the price, it is one of the ouds with the best value for money we have in store, and anyone who tries it understands immediately.

FAQ

What does Oudonism mean?
It combines "oud" and the suffix of "hedonism": the pleasure of oud lived without rules, in line with the name of the house, which in Latin means to deviate and to amuse.

Is it suitable for someone who has never tried an oud?
Yes: the sweet, fruity opening makes it far more approachable than the average oud, while keeping an authentic, deep leathery base.

Who created Oudonism?
Perfumer Sofia Bardelli, one of the house's two noses together with Vincent Ricord.

How long does it last on skin?
A very long time: it is an extrait de parfum with a powerful trail, and the oud and leather base is still perceptible the next day.
