‘Harmonious 𝗣𝗼𝘂𝗱𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝘂 𝗖𝗵𝘆𝗽𝗿𝗲 esque structure, superimposed around post-Victorian exoticism for the deep thinkers. Developed in tandem with the prior: Rose de L’Antiquité Oud, crafted for connoisseurs who still follow the clues Ernest Daltroff and Ernest Beaux left in the early 1900s, here juxtaposed using the highest form of naturals currently available. 𝗣.𝗦. Finding the pinpoint balance to reach my mindset with good strength took time, and I believe I am at the very edge now. This composition is the result of patience measured not in days, but in seasons. Years of quiet study, testing proportions until they aligned in harmony along my neurons. Months spent with tinctures and petal enfleurages until every material knew its place, i.e the place it was meant to be. The orris here does not only stay in the powder; it walks deeper, into the far drydown with it’s intrinsic cacao facet, meeting the animal warmth translating to something unmistakably human. The overall formula rounds up to ~16% Orris concrete(20% Irone) and ~26% Oud oils, making it the most expensive composition I’d ever worked on. Yet, the pricing will be kept similar to the prior. Fifty to eighty flacons, 𝟮𝟬 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝟯𝟬𝗺𝗹 extrait. My second all-natural composition—shaped only by nature, aged by time.’ – Wasif Reza
