The Story
This collaboration with Opening Ceremony is a bold, smoky oud that feels both ancient and modern. It opens with a blast of black pepper and saffron, then settles into a rich leathery heart with hints of rose. The base is a deep, ashy oud with labdanum and castoreum, giving it a wild, animalic edge. It's not for the faint of heart, but if you love real oud, this is a stunner.
