Composition
Launched in 2011 as Oud and later renamed Oud Osmanthus. Petitgrain, elemi and green mandarin open into osmanthus absolute, patchouli and nagarmotha, over Laotian oud, musk, cedar and ambergris. An apricot-floral oud of great refinement.
To me this smells like a Chinese tea house built inside a Laotian forest. Petitgrain and green mandarin snap green and bitter at the door, elemi resinous and bright — then the osmanthus blooms, apricot-sweet and golden, like lanterns being lit. And underneath, the Laotian oud breathes: smoky, woody, ancient, with nagarmotha earth and patchouli dark as wet soil. Atlas cedar and ambergris stretch it into something vast and meditative. It is less a perfume than a landscape — mist, woodsmoke, and a single perfect flower. Not for beginners — beginners stay away.
