Desert Day Collection
The House of Oud
The sun. The earth. Life’s breath. The wind. Endless horizons on the desert, where the eye caresses the curves of dunes and becomes lost between the thousand shades of sand and sky. It is a world normally unobserved. We are so lost contemplating the enchanting beauty of this space that we forget our immediate surroundings and all that’s close. The DESERT DAY Collection is a detailed snapshot, set in the magnificence of desert landscapes. Traversing the four fragrances that comprise the collection, THE HOUSE OF OUD captures the land’s beauty and the magic of time in the wilderness. It’s a 24-hour olfactory and aesthetic story of the most elusive places in the world told through their most precious details.

BREATH OF THE INFINITE
A fragrance that recalls the magical moment of the sun’s creation,
where the dazzling and bright colours of nature awaken.
The night temperatures whisper through the thin cracks in the rocks,
and your sense of smell chases the scent of oasis flowers
and a dream of the night which just ended.
The name of the fragrance is a tribute to a breathing technique
that connects to the inner space present within each of us.

An olfactory and chromatic marriage that celebrates
the strength and intensity of nature through vibrant encounters.
The still air is opposed by the wind’s vitality
– its dynamic form witnessed by the cracking rocks.

Autumn
GOLDEN POWDER
A bouquet opens with a slowness and intensity of daytime,
burning the land and reducing it to thin golden dust.
The hot, dense air envelops the skin while the oriental,
woody and spicy notes of the composition take shape.
They come alive tracing lines visible on earth
– thin cracks or dynamic fissures that coax the mind,
chasing them along alleys of thought.
The name of the fragrance is a tribute to a daytime meditation
on a beam of golden light. It enters the body and cleans it of all impurity.

BLESSING SILENCE
A fragrance inspired by the night
– its veil of peace and serenity – falling on the desert.
The earth frees the heat held during the day
and dresses itself with the immensity of the sky,
opening many tiny cracks to breathe in the cool air.
Woody and balsamic notes of this composition
are reminiscent of the wilderness’s light garments.
Perfumed and moved by the wind, they are elegance and mystery.
The name of the fragrance is dedicated to mental and vital silence
that you can only hear in the desert night.
A state of grace, of profound well-being where you
can see yourself for who you truly are.
