Sublime Indonesian oud with a worldwide perspective. Formulated in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn with North African papyrus, Afghani saffron, and Bulgarian rose. Real oud oil is the most expensive perfume ingredient on the planet. Whole logs of Aquilaria that have been infected with the black resin can sell for millions. Oud is the stuff of fables—now endangered from overharvesting. Aromatically, oud is among the most varied and complex oils on the planet. Depending on location, age, and method of extraction oud can display countless shimmering effects that appear at once woody, spicy, floral, smoky, rooty, musky, fine, fecal, and animalic. The hunt for rare ouds to be prized and worn directly on the skin is a little different than the making oud perfumes. Oud perfume, like most modern perfumes, seek to take inspiration from studies of oils that could never be mass produced (for regulatory, environmental, artistic, and economic considerations). The magic of the perfumer’s touch is his or her ability to reconstruct specific aromas with other materials. - D.S. Perfumer(s): David Seth Moltz Notes: saffron, camphor, white galbanum, Indonesian oud, Bulgarian rose, lavender absolute, civet, cetalox, papyrus
