OUD CADENZA

The embers have burned low, dates and cacao melting into the low light of the room, and somewhere beneath the sweetness a coal of oud smoke refuses to go out.

It opens on a warm spice market, saffron, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, ginger, and pink pepper crackling before they settle. The heart turns rich and resinous: dates, agarwood, caramel, and sugar cane folded into incense, amberwood, myrrh, and davana, like a dessert left to smolder over embers. The base lingers longest, Madagascar vanilla, cacao butter, and tonka bean sink into leather, benzoin, musk, patchouli, labdanum, and mate for a trail that holds for 8-10 hours.

Built for the ones who take up space in a room without raising their voice, worn on cold nights, close conversations, and the kind of dates that end slowly. This is an evening scent through and through, at its best once the temperature drops.

Holds a measured presence before settling into 6-8 hours on the skin. Hand-poured in small batches in Richardson, TX as an Extrait de Parfum, 30% fragrance oils versus the 15-20% typical of an Eau de Parfum, so a little goes a long way. Reach for it on second dates, rooftop nights, and the space between a look and a word. Made for our Fall selection.
