Following on from Santal Royal and Ambre Éternel, Guerlain perfumer Thierry Wasser is continuing his oriental journey with Oud Essentiel.
Extremely precious, oud is known in Asia under several names, oud that you inhale in whiffs of incense, oud that enchants and enthrals, oud that is pure fragrance gold in the Orient.
With Oud Essentiel, Wasser is celebrating oriental perfumery from Oman to Vietnam through India, Laos and Cambodia.
A saffron note and geranium meet to compose the top note of this woody and leathery accord. Cedar and very green rose deeply combine, exuding an unprecedented fresh and warm fragrance. A sense of enchantment is then created by a leather note paired with the strength of gaiac wood. Finally, the smooth and dry amber accord reveals a precious facet of this fragrance, which is strong, sensual and sacred in one.
After amethyst for Ambre Éternel and black for Santal Royal, Oud Essentiel shines in a refined green bottle adorned with a luminous label reminiscent of the wooden lattices of the Middle East, set off with an elegant green and golden ribbon.
