The Arabian desert, immense unknown and mysterious lands, a strange kingdom with sand as far as the eye can see, dunes which shimmer in the wind, caravans loaded with gold, myrrh and oudh… An elusive atmosphere, a sumptuous, far away land of refinement, elegance and style - the epitome of the Orient.
At the edge of the desert, a day of stifling heat, a sun that beats down relentlessly, is drawing to its close. Sunset is a breathtaking color of ochre, a sight of brilliance and splendour. A magical light that is almost unreal. Oudh wood, fascinating captivating, exhales the whispers of its balsamic, resinous and slightly smoky perfume.The ever impertinent alchemist, L’Artisan parfumeur offers an invitation to the sensual encounter of oudh wood and an oriental twilight: AL OUDH. An Eau de Parfum, both warm and dense, animal, with notes of leather, spice and wood. An elixir, sensuality itself. The fragrance opens with spice (caraway, cardamom, pink pepper mixed with dried fruit (dates), a promise of what’s to come.A floral heart note of neroli and rose with a hint of iris adds a touch of sensuality to the leather note enveloped in castoreum and civet with a mellow base of rare musk.The base note is a harmony of light coloured woods (sandalwood and Atlas cedar) enhanced with patchouli, incense and myrrh. Vanilla and tonka bean give their touch of softness to the fiery base of this unique wood with its wickedly suggestive mixture of civet and castoreum.
Delicately engraved oriental arabesques decorate each facet of this bottle of Eau de Parfum. Henna gives a new sparkling colour to its reflections of shadow and light. A subtle game of gloss, colour and warm gold illuminate the packaging.
