Ylang-ylang, pink pepper, cardamom, marigold, and orris open it, then a genuinely oud-heavy heart takes over — Assam oud, Indian jasmine, narcissus, Taif rose, tuberose, and rose oil — before a base that layers Vietnamese oud on top of Assam, alongside Tahitian vanilla, pistachio, cedarwood, vetiver, coffee, myrrh, and honey. Few fragrances in the line carry this much actual agarwood; the sweet-smoky-creamy-floral character the house describes comes through clearly on skin, with floral and sweet leading and oud, spice, and wood close behind.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eScent Character\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFloral\u003c\/strong\u003e — 38%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSweet\u003c\/strong\u003e — 25%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eOud\u003c\/strong\u003e — 12%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSpicy\u003c\/strong\u003e — 12%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWoody\u003c\/strong\u003e — 12%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGenuine oud runs through both the heart (Assam oud) and base (Vietnamese oud) — two distinct oud sources layered together, not a single trace note.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTranslation:\u003c\/em\u003e A rich floral-amber with real, layered oud (Assam and Vietnamese) sweetened by vanilla and honey — closer to a floral-oud than a woody-oud.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFragrance Pyramid\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ylang-Ylang, Pink Pepper, Cardamom, Marigold, Orris\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeart:\u003c\/strong\u003e Assam Oud, Indian Jasmine, Narcissus, Taif Rose, Tuberose, Rose Oil\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vietnamese Oud, Tahitian Vanilla, Pistachio, Cedarwood, Vetiver, Coffee, Myrrh, Honey\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePerformance\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eLongevity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long-lasting — roughly 7-9 hours on skin.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSillage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate-to-strong for the first hour or two, then settles to an arm's-length trail.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eBest Occasions \u0026amp; Season\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSeason:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring, Fall\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eOccasions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Evening, Special Occasion\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eGender:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unisex\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eConcentration \u0026amp; Provenance\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConcentration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extrait de Parfum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfumer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jean Claude Delville\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHouse:\u003c\/strong\u003e British niche house Memoirs Of A Perfume Collector, London\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eTry Before You Commit\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eNot ready to commit to the full bottle?
