Musk Aoud Crystal
“The Unexpected Oud”
Description
Put through a process to remove the pigment from the oil without affecting its odour, our Crystal Parfum means you can wear Musk Aoud with lighter fabrics. The woody Arabian oud scent remains the same, becoming like a crystal-clear waterfall within in a forest of Aquilaria trees. Invisible to the eye yet intense on the nose, this fragrance is a master of disguise.

The Perfumer’s Insights
“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.” – ROJA Dove.
