OUD SAMBAC embodies an alluring balance between opulent florals and exotic woods. The fragrance opens with the luminous freshness of bergamot and orange blossom, infused with the warm spice of cinnamon and the delicate sweetness of white flowers.
At its heart, the sensual richness of jasmine sambac blends seamlessly with the balsamic depth of styrax, while vanilla and tolu balsam add a creamy, resinous warmth. This interplay creates an intoxicatingly elegant and soft aura.
The base unfolds with the earthy sophistication of leather and oud, complemented by the woody strength of cedarwood and patchouli, leaving a lasting impression of refined and exotic luxury.
Where Passion for Niche Fragrances becomes Innovation
