“An interpretation of the traditional oriental style in which aoud is often presented is transformed into an utterly contemporary chyprè accord. This composition is formed around a central duet of musk and aoud, where a delicate note of rose de Mai is made dry and natural by an abundance of woods and mosses. A rich and sensual base of tonka bean and ambrette, fused with leather-like labdanum, heightens the aphrodisiacal nature of one of perfumery’s most legendary materials: musk. Totally unexpected and yet utterly compulsive, Musk Aoud pays homage to tradition whilst creating its own distinct path forward.”
