Atelier Materi Burgundy Oud EDP

Introduction

Burgundy Oud is a statement extrait de parfum from Atelier Materi, a contemporary Parisian niche house dedicated to sustainably sourced raw materials. Conceived by perfumer Céline Perdriel and launched in 2024, this composition fuses the richness of genuine oud with the vivid energy of dark red fruits — a pairing that feels both confidently modern and anchored in tradition.

Fragrance Journey

Top Notes: Blackcurrant, Bergamot, Guatemalan Cardamom

Heart Notes: Geranium, Magnolia, Davana

Base Notes: Oud, Leather, Amyris

The opening is electrifying: tart blackcurrant mingles with zesty bergamot and a whisper of aromatic cardamom to create an almost wine-like brightness. As the fragrance settles into its heart, geranium adds a slightly rosy green dimension, while magnolia softens the accord and davana — a rich, fruity-herbal absolute — deepens the complexity. The dry-down is where Burgundy Oud truly reveals its character: genuine oud wood, supple leather and creamy amyris combine into a warm, resinous base that lingers on the skin for hours.

Performance

As an extrait de parfum concentrated at 30%, Burgundy Oud delivers outstanding longevity — expect 10 to 14 hours on skin and significant presence on fabric. Projection is generous in the first two to three hours before mellowing into an intimate sillage. The fragrance suits cooler weather best, from the dry-season dry season through to cooler evenings, though it can be worn year-round with a restrained hand. It skews towards evening wear and is equally flattering on anyone aged 25 and above.

Best Occasions

Gala evenings, black-tie dinners, weddings, business functions where authority is required, and any moment where you wish to leave a lasting impression. The oud-leather-fruit accord is striking enough to serve as a signature scent.

Climate & Wear Advice

During hot afternoons or in the heat of hot climates, apply just two sprays — one on the wrist and one at the base of the neck. The concentration ensures full projection without overwhelming in high humidity. In an air-conditioned office or event hall, you may increase to three sprays safely. The dry season (November to February) is the ideal time to wear Burgundy Oud at full strength, as the cool dry air amplifies oud and leather beautifully. During the rainy season, opt for evening application when temperatures are lower and the scent can develop without being diluted by perspiration.
