Antique Oak

Burberry Antique Oak (2017) is a unisex Oriental Woody fragrance composed by Francis Kurkdjian. The top notes read like a dense thicket: agarwood (oud), leather, papyrus, oakmoss, cade oil, styrax, amberwood, and saffron all appear at once, with no heart or base notes listed separately. In practice, this means the opening is the fragrance: a dry, smoky, leathery wood accord that feels antique and austere. The oud is not animalic but rather dusty and resinous, wrapped in saffron's metallic spice and cade's tar-like smoke. Oakmoss and styrax add a mossy, balsamic depth that lingers close to the skin.

Collectors who appreciate vintage-style woody leathers—think of classic chypres reworked with oud—will find this compelling. It suits those who prefer their fragrances dry, bitter, and unsweetened, and who don't mind a linear development. Because it lacks a traditional pyramid, it wears more like an attar than a Western eau de parfum. Best for cool weather and evening wear, and for anyone seeking a discontinued oud-leather that doesn't rely on rose or sweetness.

Burberry Antique Oak（2017）係一款男女合用嘅東方木質香水，由Francis Kurkdjian調配。香調表只有前調：沉香（烏木）、皮革、紙莎草、橡苔、杜松油、蘇合香、琥珀木同藏紅花，中調同基調從缺。實際上，開場就係全部：乾燥、煙燻、皮革感強嘅木質協調，沉香唔係動物感而係粉塵樹脂感，藏紅花嘅金屬辛辣同杜松油嘅焦油煙燻包裹住佢。橡苔同蘇合香帶來苔蘚同香脂嘅深度，貼膚留香。

呢支啱鍾意復古木質皮革、接受線性發展嘅收藏家。氣質乾燥、苦澀、唔甜，似attar多過傳統西式香水。適合涼爽天氣同夜晚場合，或者想搵一支唔靠玫瑰、唔靠甜味嘅停產沉香皮革嘅人。
