FEATURED MATERIAL

Oud

Aquilaria malaccensis · Assam & Laos

Formed when Aquilaria trees respond to infection, oud is among the most precious materials in perfumery, smoky, animalic, and impossibly deep. We work with sustainably harvested Assam and Laotian sources, then rebuild its facets molecule by molecule so a drop reads true without costing a fortune.

HOW A FRAGRANCE BREATHES

Three phases, one curve.

  1. 0 – 15 MIN

    Top Notes

    The first breath. Bright, volatile molecules that flash and fade, citrus, herbs, sparkling spice.

  2. HOUR 1 – 4

    Heart Notes

    The character. Florals, resins and spice that bloom once the top has lifted, the soul of the scent.

  3. HOUR 4+

    Base Notes

    The memory. Heavy, slow molecules that cling to skin for hours, woods, amber, musk, oud.
