As ancient as the art of perfumery itself, the limited edition Comme des Garçons Wonderoud Eau de Parfum Spray celebrates the precious and highly prized oud resin.
Oud is rooted in the culture of the East, its powerful and rich facets known as black gold to perfumers. The oud used in this composition is 100% natural, and extracted from sustainably grown Aquilaria trees in South East Asia.
Exquisitely composed, the fragrance presents a powerful and hypnotic blend of woody layers. Its smooth, pebble-like bottle is emblematic of Comme des Garçons fragrances, finished in saturated, bronzed-black lacquer and tucked inside a material bag.
Comme des Garcons Wonderoud Eau de Parfum Spray 100ml is rated 4.8 out of 5 by 11.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ruum from WonderOud because you wonder where the Oud is This scent has a sense of déjà vu. Having tried WonderOUD multiple times, it is hard to think of this scent as anything other than WonderWOOD by the same house of Comme des Garcons. I bought and used WonderWOOD a while ago. I found the soft cedar woods and synthetic sandalwood undertones (read javanol), mixed with a really authentic black pepper note to be quite smooth and relaxing, especially throughout the coolder months. Alas, the love did not last long and I discovered WonderOUD by accident. The similarities are quite astonishing. The black pepper is a little more pronounced and the cedar and other woody notes (vetiver, patchouli and plenty of javanol or synthetic sandalwood) are all there. Others tell me (and yes that includes strangers in shops!) that they get an 'oudy' note coming off this one from 2-3 feet away, but I get no such vibe. Instead, the bone dry woods are much more pronounced in this scent compared to the aforementioned WonderWOOD. Whatever the 'oud' note used in this one, it is subtle, blended in very well and unlike any other oud scents available today. There are no sugary sweet or rose accords whatsoever. I put a tester card in my top pocket and I can get relatively strong whiffs of this one two days later. So the longevity is there, but it is either my skin type or olfactory fatigue not allowing to detect this scent in its full glory. That said, I think this scent would be superb for layering with other scents, oils or notes. I have had some good results experimenting with this and intend to get a bottle soon.
