Landcaster Oud Carbon | 2ml Sample

Vietnamese oud with the smoke still coming off it.

Mandarin opens it tart and bright, with pink pepper, juniper berry and mace adding a dry crackle underneath. Lavender and orris cool the middle into something faintly powdery, hay absolute lends a sunlit dried-grass sweetness, and dragon's blood resin keeps the whole thing austere. The base is where the money went: Vietnamese oud, tobacco absolute, opoponax, styrax, treemoss and patchouli, dark and smoky and slow to leave.

Released: 2026

KSI Take: This is the driest of Landcaster's three oud releases and the least welcoming on first spray, where juniper and mace can read almost medicinal before the resins arrive. The treemoss and patchouli also push it decidedly vintage, which is a feature if you were raised on chypres and a problem if you were not. Give it twenty minutes before deciding. Wear it in autumn and winter, in the evening, when you want to smell expensive rather than friendly.
