Note Structure
Top Notes: Bergamot, Ginger, Pink Pepper
The opening sparkles with the zesty brightness of bergamot, enhanced by the warm spiciness of ginger. Pink pepper adds a soft, rosy heat that gives the top a vibrant and energetic character, lifting the richness of the deeper notes to come.
Middle Notes: Tuberose, Iris, Cedarwood
The heart reveals a refined floral blend of tuberose and iris, adding creamy elegance and a silky texture. Cedarwood grounds the florals with a clean, woody backbone that adds structure and sophistication to the composition.
Base Notes: Oud, Ambroxan, Musk, Leather, Vanilla
The dry-down centers around a smooth, resinous oud note—rich but never overpowering. Ambroxan brings a modern mineral warmth and radiance, while soft musk and refined leather add sensual depth. A touch of vanilla provides gentle sweetness, creating a balanced, luxurious finish that lingers beautifully.
Evolution & Experience
Oud Zarián opens with an energetic burst of citrus and warm spices that immediately feel bright and inviting. As the fragrance evolves, the floral heart begins to emerge, adding creamy sophistication and soft elegance. The iris provides a velvety smoothness, while cedarwood introduces a clean structure that maintains balance.
As it settles, the oud develops slowly, unfolding with a polished, resinous depth. Ambroxan amplifies the aura of the fragrance, giving it modern projection and a radiant warmth. Leather and vanilla subtly enrich the final stages, resulting in a dry-down that is sensual, smooth, and undeniably luxurious.
The evolution is seamless—shifting from brightness to warmth, from silkiness to depth, in a refined and graceful progression.
