Oud, one of the most precious ingredients in the world. An oil that, when of high quality, is worth its weight in gold. This rare raw material is extracted from the resin of Aquilaria trees, also known as agarwood trees. Its fragrance is diverse and multifaceted. It is of such inimitable and special beauty that legends have been spun around it.
Robert Piguet tells his own story of this wonderful ingredient with Oud de Robert Piguet: a fragrance that evokes the heat of the desert wind – and caresses the skin like precious silk.
Oud de Robert Piguet shines in the opening with an exquisite note of saffron, accompanied by dark green, cooling fir balsam and warm, spicy myrrh. Their ambivalence sets the stage for the exquisite oud, which is illuminated in all its facets. It reveals itself majestically and sublimely: its leathery side gains depth and complexity from powdery dark chocolate accents of patchouli, while guaiac wood underscores the woody nature of the fragrance with its characteristic balsamic warmth. Gently kissed by honey and enveloped in a soft mist of incense, grassy-salty vetiver rounds off the composition perfectly.
Elegant and mysterious, Oud de Robert Piguet is like an olfactory fairy tale from “One Thousand and One Nights,” a fragrance for true connoisseurs and lovers of the exquisite.
