The Terroir
Deep in the monsoon forests of Assam, only a fraction of Aquilaria trees ever form the dark, fragrant resin known as oud — a response to time, wound, and weather.

Narcissus Absolute
Depth Within White
Narcissus Absolute is not merely the sweet-smelling state of a white flower. When you first experience it on your skin, you understand why it holds a special place in perfumery: it appears elegant, yet its scent is surprisingly deep, green, and self-assured.
The initial contact brings to mind a fresh stem broken after rain. Vibrant leaves, damp greenery, and a subtle natural tartness… Then the white heart of the flower slowly opens. An intense yet not sugary floral warmth combines with soft, dry hay-like tones and a rounded, honey-reminiscent sweetness.
However, the true beauty of Narcissus Absolute lies in the shadow it conceals beneath this bright floral state. As the fragrance settles on the skin, it gains a warmer, more mature, and more textured character. On some skins, subtle smoky notes appear, at times faintly fruity nuances. These are not subsequently added notes; they are different facets naturally present within a single flower.
This valuable material, obtained from Narcissus poeticus L. flowers, is not distilled like an essential oil. The flowers are first extracted to form a concentrated concrete; then purified with alcohol to yield the absolute, which is the concentrated essence of the fragrance. This method preserves the green, warm, and dark character of the narcissus alongside its delicate whiteness.
Narcissus Absolute is neither an ordinary floral scent nor an innocent spring bouquet. It begins with the vibrancy of fresh leaves; slowly maturing on the skin with warm hay, honeyed softness, and deep floral tones.

Made to order
Certificate of authenticity
The Story
Some scents are made. This one was waited for — coaxed from resin-veined heartwood that took decades to ripen in silence.
The Harvest
Harvested by hand from naturally infected heartwood, each fragment is graded by scent alone, the way it has been for generations.
Patient Aging
Rested in glass for years beneath changing light, the oil softens and deepens into leather, honey and smoke.
“To wear oud is to carry a forest, a season, and a century on the skin.”
Questions
Before You Wear It
How should I apply this oud?
Apply a single drop to pulse points — wrist, neck, behind the ears. Concentrated oils bloom over minutes, so wear sparingly.
How long does it last?
Pure oud oil is exceptionally long-lasting; expect 10–12 hours on skin and considerably longer on fabric.
How is it shipped?
Each order is hand-packed in a protective case and dispatched with tracked, insured delivery.
