Oud is the most precious, most coveted, and most luxurious fragrance ingredient in the world. Sourced from the heartwood of the Aquilaria tree, genuine oud has been treasured for centuries by royalty, connoisseurs, and fragrance lovers who demand nothing but the extraordinary. It is rich, deep, smoky, and utterly unforgettable.
The Arabella London No 02 brings you that extraordinary oud experience — inspired by the legendary Ombré Nomade by Louis Vuitton, one of the most celebrated oud fragrances ever created — in a rich, oil-based formula that you can feel on your skin the moment you spray it.
Oil-Based: You Can Feel the Luxury
This is not an ordinary alcohol-based perfume. The Arabella London No 02 is an oil-based fragrance — and the difference is immediately, unmistakably apparent.
Spray it on your wrist and you will feel it. A rich, silky, luxurious oil that settles onto the skin with a warmth and depth that alcohol-based fragrances simply cannot replicate. The oil clings to the skin, develops with your natural body heat, and releases the fragrance slowly and beautifully throughout the day.
This is why oil-based fragrances are the choice of fragrance connoisseurs worldwide:
- Longer lasting — oil-based fragrances last significantly longer on the skin than alcohol-based alternatives; the oil anchors the scent and releases it gradually throughout the day and evening
- Deeper, richer scent — without alcohol to dilute and evaporate the fragrance, every note is more intense, more complex, and more true to the original
- Skin-nourishing — the oil base is gentle and moisturising on the skin, unlike alcohol which can dry and irritate
- Warmer development — oil fragrances interact with your body heat in a uniquely personal way, developing differently on every person who wears them
Spray it. Feel it. Wear it. This is what luxury fragrance truly feels like.
Inspired by Ombré Nomade Louis Vuitton: The World's Most Iconic Oud
Ombré Nomade by Louis Vuitton is one of the most acclaimed fragrances of the modern era. A bold, opulent oud fragrance that retails for over £350 for 100ml — and is worth every penny to those who can afford it.
The Arabella London No 02 captures the soul of that iconic fragrance — the same smoky incense opening, the same rich amber and leather heart, the same deep oud and vetiver base — in a premium oil-based formula at a fraction of the price.
The Fragrance: Dark, Smoky and Deeply Luxurious
The Arabella London No 02 is a fragrance of extraordinary depth and complexity. Every layer reveals something new. Every hour brings a new dimension.
Top Notes: Smoky Incense and Floral Hints
The fragrance opens with a dramatic, captivating burst of smoky incense with delicate floral hints. This is not a subtle opening — it is bold, confident, and immediately distinctive. The incense creates an almost mystical quality, as if the fragrance carries centuries of history within it. The floral hints soften the smoke just enough to make it wearable and deeply beautiful.
Heart Notes: Amber and Leather
As the opening settles, the heart of the fragrance reveals itself — a rich, warm combination of amber and leather. The amber adds a golden, resinous warmth that is deeply sensual and luxurious. The leather brings a sophisticated, almost masculine edge that gives the fragrance its powerful, commanding character. Together, they create a heart that is genuinely unforgettable.
Base Notes: Oud and Earthy Vetiver
The foundation of everything. A deep, rich, enduring base of oud and earthy vetiver that anchors the entire fragrance and ensures it lasts for hours on the skin. The oud is the star — dark, woody, resinous, and utterly captivating. The vetiver adds an earthy, smoky depth that complements the oud perfectly and gives the fragrance its extraordinary longevity.
This is the base that lingers. The base that people notice hours after you have left the room. The base that makes this fragrance truly iconic.
Unisex: Worn by Those Who Demand the Extraordinary
The Arabella London No 02 is a true unisex fragrance — bold enough for those who want to make a statement, sophisticated enough for those who prefer understated luxury. The combination of smoky incense, rich amber, and deep oud transcends gender entirely.
This is the fragrance for:
- Those who want to be remembered long after they have left the room
- Those who appreciate the ancient, timeless luxury of oud
- Those who want a fragrance that is genuinely different from everything else they have ever worn
- Those who understand that true luxury is felt, not just smelled
100ml: Generous, Premium, Lasting
A full 100ml of oil-based luxury fragrance. Not a sample. Not a miniature. A generous, premium bottle that will last months of regular wear — and because it is oil-based, a little goes a very long way.
Luxury Without the Luxury Price Tag
Ombré Nomade Louis Vuitton: over £350.
Arabella London No 02: £65.
The same iconic oud scent profile. The same 100ml generous size. An oil-based formula that arguably delivers an even richer, more lasting experience than the original. At a price that makes extraordinary fragrance accessible to everyone who deserves it — which is everyone.
This is what Arabella London stands for. Luxury is not a privilege. It is a standard for everyone.
How to Wear an Oil-Based Fragrance
- Apply to pulse points — wrists, neck, behind the ears, inner elbows; body heat activates and projects the fragrance
- Less is more — oil-based fragrances are more concentrated than alcohol-based; start with one or two sprays and build if needed
- Apply to moisturised skin — the oil base already nourishes the skin, but moisturised skin holds fragrance even longer
- Do not rub — allow the oil to settle naturally on the skin for the best scent development
- Layer for intensity — apply to clothing as well as skin for an even longer-lasting trail
The Perfect Gift
