Oud a l'Amour

Oud a l’Amour was inspired by Dominique Ropion’s dream - an imaginary one - that showcases an oud without oud but with an extravagant dose of roses. From this dark, mysterious material, he explored its full spectrum of facets.

First, the sharp intensity of pink pepper, whose CO2 extraction preserves the complex character of the berry, with its familiar citrusy and floral undertones. A spicy spirit that bursts open with a pineapple aroma. Three rose essences are blended in an indecent dose, swirling around geranium to mimic the Saudi rose. Combined with the smoky, leathery, and spicy notes of cypriol, vetiver, and olibanum, this oud-inspired nectar creates an olfactory mirage, blending Middle Eastern warmth with a Western accent. The intrinsic strength of this accord melts into a cloud of musks, as if to better contain it. As a counterpoint to this soft epilogue, resins, grey, amber accord, cypriol, and patchouli return with full force.
