No. 279 Impression of Oud Cadenza by Muntaha Fragrance is a rich, luxurious fragrance.
inspired by Oud Cadenza by Maison Crivelli. It brings together the depth of oud with warm spices, dates, caramel, toasted sugar, creamy vanilla, and smooth leather for a scent that feels dark, inviting, and distinctly sophisticated.
This is not a light, conventional oud. It is a gourmand woody fragrance where sweetness and spice soften the darker character of oud and leather. The result is a warm, enveloping profile that suits fragrance lovers who enjoy bold evening scents with plenty of texture and character. The original Oud Cadenza launched in 2024 and was created by perfumer Jordi Fernández. It is presented as a fragrance for both women and men.
Fragrance Overview
No. 279 begins with an expressive blend of saffron, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, ginger, and pink pepper. The opening is warm, spicy, and aromatic, creating an immediate sense of depth. Saffron adds an elegant richness, while cinnamon, cardamom, and ginger bring a lively spice that keeps the opening from feeling flat.
The heart is where the signature character develops. Dates, oud, caramel, and sugarcane create a sweet, almost edible dimension around the darker oud accord. Incense, myrrh, amberwood, and davana add resinous and woody facets, giving the sweetness a more sophisticated edge.
The base becomes smoother and creamier. Madagascar vanilla, cacao butter, and tonka bring warmth and softness, while leather, benzoin, musk, patchouli, labdanum, and mate add depth. The result is an intricate blend of sweet, spicy, ambery, leathery, and woody nuances.

Base Notes
- Madagascar Vanilla, Cacao Butter, Tonka, Leather, Benzoin, Musk, Patchouli, Labdanum & Mate
The base is warm, creamy, and textured. Vanilla, cacao butter, and tonka create a soft gourmand foundation, while leather adds sophistication. Benzoin and labdanum reinforce the balsamic warmth, musk smooths the composition, and patchouli contributes earthy depth. Mate gives the base another subtle aromatic dimension.
Performance
No. 279 is best suited to autumn and winter, particularly during cooler evenings. Its combination of oud, leather, spices, caramel, vanilla, and resinous notes is naturally more comfortable in cold or moderate weather.
The fragrance has a noticeable personality and is better suited to situations where a richer scent can be appreciated. Fragrance-community feedback on the original frequently describes strong longevity and projection, although individual experiences vary considerably. Some wearers report particularly powerful performance, while others find it more controlled.
For that reason, thoughtful application is recommended. It works especially well for evening wear, dinners, formal gatherings, date nights, and special occasions. It can also be worn during the day in colder weather when a deeper fragrance feels appropriate.
Why Choose This Impression?
No. 279 is an excellent choice for anyone who enjoys the meeting point between oud and gourmand fragrance styles.
The fragrance doesn’t rely on oud alone. Dates, caramel, and sugar cane introduce a naturally appealing sweetness, while saffron and spices provide warmth. Vanilla, cacao butter, and tonka later soften the composition, creating a smoother finish around the darker leather and woody elements.
Muntaha Fragrance creates premium impressions inspired by distinctive luxury and niche fragrance profiles. No. 279 brings this particular fragrance inspiration into the collection with attention to craftsmanship, scent character, presentation, and accessible luxury.
Who Should Wear It?
No. 279 is ideal for fragrance lovers who enjoy oud, warm spices, sweet woods, leather, vanilla, and sophisticated gourmand scents.
It suits someone who isn’t afraid of a richer fragrance and appreciates depth over simplicity. The profile can work beautifully for both men and women, particularly for those who enjoy bold, warm fragrances with a polished edge.
If your collection already includes fresh citrus or aquatic fragrances, No. 279 can provide an entirely different mood: darker, warmer, and more indulgent.
