A battle royale between jasmine and oud, where everyone’s a winner. Oud in White opens on a zest of pear, ginger, and raspberry, before revealing its true intentions with jasmine sambac’s shocking sensuality. Peachy osmanthus fleshes out the fleshiness, and resinous labdanum and milky sandalwood makes the slide into leathery Cambodian oud irresistible. Between the twinned forces of indolic jasmine and barnyardy oud, this one’s for connoisseurs of the finer side of skank.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a fragrance for close quarters and confident company, where its floral heat and barnyard edge can unfold without apology. It suits an intimate room, a late conversation, or any setting where the wearer wants a presence that feels plush, charged and slightly untamed.
How to wear
Best in cool to mild weather, where its resinous woods and indolic florals can breathe without becoming heavy. Apply sparingly at first: as an extrait, it has strong concentration and a dense trail, so one or two sprays are often enough to let the jasmine, labdanum and oud evolve clearly on skin.
Who it’s for
For lovers of oud with a taste for contrast: floral but not delicate, woody but not dry, sensual with a distinctly animalic edge. It will appeal to those who enjoy skanky jasmine, resinous depth and fragrances that feel plush, dark and textural rather than clean or transparent.

The nose
Julien Rasquinet. Rasquinet is known for modern compositions that balance texture and tension, often bringing a polished, contemporary structure to bold materials. In Oud in White, he leans into the contrast between luminous floral sensuality and the darker, leathery pull of oud, shaping a fragrance that feels both refined and feral.
Collaborators
Roberto Drago, Laboratorio Olfattivo’s creative director, shaped the fragrance’s artistic brief and worked with the perfumer in the house’s usual story-led, freedom-first process, helping steer the concept toward a deliberate jasmine-versus-oud confrontation.
Laboratorio Olfattivo’s story
Laboratorio Olfattivo is a niche Italian house built around artistic freedom, emotion and collaboration rather than market formulas. Its fragrances are conceived as creative projects, with Roberto Drago guiding the vision and inviting perfumers to develop distinctive, idea-driven compositions.
Oud in White’s concept
Oud in White was created as a sophisticated duel between indolic floral beauty and the mystery of oud, with jasmine sambac, osmanthus and resinous woods pushing the composition toward a sensual, leathery finish. The result is a polished take on the oud theme that keeps the tension alive from the bright opening through to the animalic drydown.
Extra info
The name says exactly what the fragrance does: it stages a white-floral brightness against oud’s darker grain. It is part of Laboratorio Olfattivo’s ongoing artistic perfumery project, and its bottle follows the house’s minimalist black-and-white aesthetic.
