White Aoud
The oud is lightened here by rose and jasmine, and above all by an unusually long citrus-and-cardamom opening. The base, by contrast, is loaded: leather, oakmoss and sandalwood.
Opera
Rose opens alone, then ylang-ylang, leather and nutmeg form an elegant heart. Vetiver, cedar, patchouli and vanilla hold a base the house calls refined.
