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.

Lavallière

An accord of wood and spice held by suede and musk. The suede softens the spice without sweetening it, which makes it as wearable at the office as in the evening.
