BergamotCitrusy, bitter & tart, elegant, light note with mild spicy tone, complex with nuances of fruit and aromatic elements, reminiscent of Eau de Cologne, it flavours Earl Grey tea. |
RaspberryTangy or sweet, juicy or tart: more sophisticated than a strawberry, but just as lush. Raspberries quite often appear, nowadays, as part of a ‘red berry accord’ in fruity, or fruity-floral scents. |
RoseSometimes powdery, sometimes woody, musky, myrrh-y, clove-like, sometimes fruity, or just blowsily feminine – but always, intensely romantic. |
What is Oud?
Known as the “five thousand dollar per pound scent,” Oud or Oudh is by far one of the most expensive raw fragrance ingredients in the world. Also known as agarwood, this essential oil is extracted from the fungus-infected resinous heartwood of the agar tree, which is primarily found in the dense forests of Southeast Asia, India and Bangladesh. It is either extracted by distillation from the wood or by melting the resin.
It is believed that for every ten trees in the wild, only one will have an infected heartwood. Expert perfumers seek out these older trees because of the superior richness of the resin’s aroma. Unfortunately, many of these older trees are now considered threatened species.
Due to the fact that the resin is only triggered by the formation of the mold, it’s estimated that a total of 2 percent of these trees produce it. This contributes to its status as the most expensive commodity on the essential oil market.
What is Eau De Parfum?
Eau de Parfum (EDP) boasts a longevity of 4-5 hours, whereas Eau de Toilette (EDT) only lasts for up to 2-3 hours. This means Eau de Parfum gives you the luxury of having this fragrance on you for a long time in the day, with a fragrance concentration of between 15% and 20%.
It is also generally less expensive than parfum and while it does have a higher concentration of alcohol than parfum, it is better for sensitive skin than other fragrance types. Use 2-4 sprays directly onto your neck, wrists or any other pulse points.
Dirham Oud is the way to go if you are looking for a long lasting, deep aromatic fragrance. It’s bergamot tone gives it a warm, spicy edge, combining perfectly with the sweet scent deriving from rose and raspberry. You will be sure to turn a few heads once you spray some of this wonderful, dreamy oud perfume.
