Ojar Épine du Désert EDP

Description

A spicy rose mukhallat wrapped in suede and dry wood. Ojar Épine du Désert EDP pays tribute to the Middle Eastern mukhallat tradition, blending pure rose with spicy saffron and pimento, opening on pimento and saffron, moving into rose and jasmine, and settling into dry woods, sandalwood, and suede. Enigmatic and timeless, without a drop of sweetness to soften it.

Scent Character

• Spicy: 29%
• Woody: 29%
• Floral: 28%
• Suede & Dry Wood: 14%

Translation: a spicy rose on a dry, suede-wood base. There's no agarwood in the actual notes despite the mukhallat framing, so the warmth reads as suede and dry wood rather than true oud.
