“Oud is the quintessence of woody notes. It is unique both for its olfactory profile and for the socio-cultural interest it generates. I wanted to work on this note as if it were a faceted diamond, the most precious raw material imaginable. I had the opportunity to work with an extraordinary quality of Oud from the Ajmal location in India. This is a note that represents the perfect balance between all facets of oud: smoky, powerful, leathery, slightly animalic, vibrant, addictive. What makes this fragrance perfectly unique is a Magnolia, fresh and floral – Lilybelle accord in the heart, which projects the fragrance into a more joyful and enthusiastic dimension. Lilybelle® in particular, gives an almost aquatic character to the fragrance, allowing the scent to breathe. I also used an overdose of Ambrocenide® and Ambrostar® which guarantee unique intensity, projection and vitality. These molecules can virtually make a perfume last forever. Furthermore, I have chosen a combination of three exceptional raw materials: a fraction of Patchouli to convey the darkness of the oud, Sandalwood to reveal a light and milky addictive effect and finally our precious Vetiver from Madagascar which gives a earthy and slightly smoky footprint. These three elements combined are like a hybrid of a perfect wood. Finally, the addition of Oud Boya underlines the woody and oriental character of the fragrance.”
