Precious Oud

Amandine Clerc-Marie
Precious Oud is a tribute to this mythical essence by Amandine Clerc-Marie. The eagle tree (aquilaria), which grows in Asia and India, only develops its intense oud character when it is “infected” by a special fungus; only then does this tree produce the dark, highly fermented resin that magically exudes balsamic, earthy and leathery nuances – similar to frankincense and myrrh. Oud, or agarwood (eaglewood), is very rare, very precious. Precious Oud is a reinterpretation of oud essence combined with floral elements. The brightly sparkling top note presents itself with bergamot and pink pepper and already hints at the intensely smoky character that defines the fragrance; the heart note seduces with a vibrant bouquet of the most beautiful flowers – sensual jasmine and noble tuberose. Tuberose, with its overwhelming, intoxicatingly divine fragrance, ennobles every creation. Woody accents of patchouli open the base of the fragrance, followed by the opulent, intense and precious aura of mysterious oud, caressed by other woody and precious nuances such as vetiver, sandalwood and amber. With its warm, sensual reverberation, Precious Oud embodies a new masterpiece within the Collection Extraordinaire. a fragrance with a distinct character that paves the way for new creations, detached from all boundaries, for creations composed exclusively with the most precious, noblest materials according to the principle of the highest excellence to new harmonies.
