The Fragrance's atmosphere  

This is the story of a tree that heals its wounds by creating a resin with an unrivalled scent.  Aquilaria crassna, the ‘perfume wood’, grows in the tropical forests of South-East Asia, and the oud it so rarely produces has acquired ancestral spiritual and medicinal value. Buddhists burn it to help them meditate. With its woody, leathery nuances, it has become one of the perfume industry's favourite raw materials, imbued with luxury and mystery, and capable of seducing both men and women. This animalic character is enhanced by patchouli and rose, which add depth and sensuality. 

Here's the olfactory description of Oud Orient by Autour du Parfum 

Top notes: The fragrance opens with a fascinating fusion of rose and honey, adding a sweet, floral touch. The majestic, sensual rose is softened by the ambery, gourmand sweetness of honey. Cedarwood adds a slightly dry, woody dimension that balances this sweet, floral opening, immediately establishing an elegant, structured note.

Heart notes: At its heart, oud reveals all its power. A sacred wood and symbol of oriental perfumery, it imbues the fragrance with its smoky, resinous notes, adding incomparable depth and warmth. Patchouli, with its earthy, damp accents, reinforces this woody intensity, while cistus adds a slightly ambery, balsamic facet, evoking the richness and complexity of traditional oriental fragrances.

Base notes: The base of Oud Orient is leathery and musky. The leather brings a raw, animalic sensuality, while the musks wrap the composition in a warm, enveloping softness. The combination of the power of leather and the delicacy of musks gives the fragrance an irresistible trail that is both intense and refined.
