Tobacco Perfume vs Oud Perfume: Which One Should You Choose?

Two of the most popular fragrance families 
in India right now are tobacco and oud. 
Both are warm, rich, and long-lasting — 
but they couldn't be more different.

Here's everything you need to know before 
choosing your next signature scent.

## What is Tobacco Perfume?

Tobacco fragrances don't actually smell 
like cigarettes. Modern tobacco perfumes 
are warm, sweet, and gourmand — blending 
tobacco leaf with notes like vanilla, 
coffee, caramel, and woods.

Think: cosy, warm, and addictive.

### Luceran Tobacco
Our Tobacco fragrance opens with fresh 
pear and pink pepper, deepening into 
coffee, jasmine, and bitter almond — 
settling into a rich base of vanilla, 
patchouli, and cashmere woods.

## What is Oud Perfume?

Oud (also known as agarwood) is one of 
the most precious fragrance ingredients 
in the world. It comes from the resin 
of infected agarwood trees and has been 
used in Middle Eastern perfumery for 
centuries.

Oud fragrances are: smoky, woody, rich, 
and deeply complex. They command attention 
and leave a powerful trail.

### Luceran Elly — Our Oud Fragrance

deepening into geranium and nutmeg — 
settling into a powerful base of Indian 
oud, pure oud, white musk and cedarwood.
