Just Before
The House of Oud
The bouquet announces its arrival with the freshness of Bergamot, in accord with the juicy expressiveness of Lemon and the pungent character of Saffron. This is how ideas are concentrated together, the beginning of expectation. With a sensual, embracing heart, thought is translated into action.
Myrrh now starts its dance with Ylang-Ylang against the backdrop of Palo Santo, the essence used by Inca shamans in their religious rituals. The base, heart-rending and of incalculable depth, has the sweetness of Vanilla and the passion of Sandalwood, a reminder that the true pleasure of expectation is ultimately in the anticipation.

The House of Oud is the story of a friendship between an Italian master perfumer and an oud aficionado from Jakarta, a friendship born of a shared passion for art, perfume and travel along with a deep appreciation of beauty.
The House of Oud uses only the highest quality raw materials and the oud, which is found in every fragrance in the collection, is sourced from across the world. Oud never dominates but is used to create a bridge between the other ingredients, resulting in richly nuanced and completely addictive collections.
Designed to fit in the palm of the hand, the fragrance bottle is reminiscent of a smooth stone. The unique lacquering technique means that no two bottles are the same and the top-down design allows the beauty of these highly individual fragrances to be fully appreciated..
