Baruti NOOUD Extrait de Parfum

NOOUD Extrait de Parfum by Baruti – The Power of What’s Not There

Now available at scent amor – your destination for intense, conceptual niche perfumes in their purest form.

A Scent Without Oud – Now Deeper Than Ever
NOOUD is a paradox: a scent that doesn’t contain oud, yet evokes its smoky, resinous, animalic soul so convincingly that your senses insist otherwise. In its Extrait de Parfum version, that illusion gains weight. It becomes more physical, more intimate, more persistent.

Extrait de Parfum contains the highest concentration of perfume oil – typically between 25–40%, compared to 15–20% in an Eau de Parfum. That doesn’t make it louder. It makes it closer, deeper, slower. It doesn’t project into a room—it stays with you, evolves over hours, and lingers on the skin like a second presence.

NOOUD Extrait isn’t a more intense version of the original. It’s the same message, spoken in a lower voice, with more gravity and far more silence between the words.

The Fragrance Structure: Resin, Smoke, and Shadow
The top opens with: sharp resins, cold air, and a metallic flash.
A stark, almost sterile beginning. It doesn’t greet you—it confronts you. Like a breath held before something begins.

The heart unfolds with: dark balsams, smoke, abstract woods.
Here, NOOUD becomes tactile and textured. It calls to mind scorched wood, antique leather, forgotten pages. Not sweet, not floral—just presence.

The base lingers with: labdanum, amber, musk.
A warm but quiet finish. Amber gives softness, musk adds skin-like sensuality, and labdanum grounds the entire structure. NOOUD Extrait becomes a part of you—subtle, slow, unforgettable.

Why Extrait? Less Projection, More Connection
Unlike an Eau de Parfum, which is designed to reach others, an Extrait de Parfum is meant to stay close. NOOUD Extrait doesn’t announce itself—it waits to be noticed.

Its power is in restraint. It rewards stillness. It’s less a fragrance and more a state of being.

The Perfumer: Dr. Spyros Drosopoulos – Subtraction as Strength
Dr. Spyros Drosopoulos, founder of Baruti, approaches perfumery with the discipline of a scientist and the vision of an artist. With NOOUD Extrait, he builds a scent around absence—a void that somehow feels full.

This is not an oud perfume. It’s a study in what oud means.

The Brand: Baruti – Always Conceptual, Always Skin-Deep
Baruti creates fragrances that are unapologetically different—built on bold ideas and executed with precision. The Extrait Collection takes that philosophy further: same formulas, elevated concentration, radically intimate experience.

NOOUD Extrait is not a reinterpretation. It’s a deepening.

scent amor – Where Fragrance Becomes Feeling
At scent amor, we believe perfume should move you. That it should say something—without saying it out loud.

NOOUD Extrait is part of a curated collection for those who don’t wear scent to be noticed—but to be remembered.
