An illicit scent broke through on an August night high enough above Lake Geneva to cast its perfumer Alberto Morillas wandering its shores into pink and azure. The air was still clinging to a trace of oud, smoky, intense, and evocative. All of these serendipitous meetings inspired Golden Oud, a Mizensir signature essence.
It enchanting fragrance uses Oud Assafi, a rare and very precious oud oil harvested from the border regions of Bangladesh and India. This oud is legendary for its purity and blends very well with leathery, balsamic, and smoky notes.
The Fragrance Composition
Oud Assafi: The Star Ingredient
Oud Assafi is one of the world’s finest oud extracts because of its rich yet nuanced profile. It smokes just the right amount, not overpowering, but luxurious without seeming heavy, making it the centerpiece of Golden Oud; it is sophisticated and deep.
Frankincense & Bulgarian Rose: Ethereal Elegance
To enhance the oud’s airy qualities, Morillas incorporates frankincense and Bulgarian rose:
- Fresh brightness is added from a resinous frankincense that, at the same time, uplifts the rich oud base.
- The soft floral warmth of the Bulgarian rose introduces grace, having a hand in softening the note in question.
Papyrus: A Touch of Mystery
At the natural end, papyrus always adds a dry, earthy quality to the scent, giving it a mysterious depth. The oud sounds more exotic because of its historical and exotic note.
Amyris Wood & Cetalox: A Sensual Finish
The scent is completed with amaryllis wood and catalogue, which give smooth and warm woody notes. Elements of these create a lingering, sensual trail, which makes Golden Oud as appealing as it is distinctive masculine or feminine.
Why Golden Oud Is Exceptional
- A Rare Luxury: Use of Oud Assafi levels Golden Oud, another stratum high. This oil is sourced from remote regions and will provide the perfect, balanced, high-quality oud experience.
