Golden Oud by Mizensir: A Sensual Encounter Between Lake Geneva and Asian Oud
On a balmy August evening, perfumer Alberto Morillas finds himself strolling along the shores of Lake Geneva, enjoying a moment of calm as the sun sets over pink and azure waters. Suddenly, he catches a mesmerising scent lingering in the air—an evocative trace of oud, unmistakable in its smoky allure. This encounter, both serene and unexpectedly intense, becomes the spark for Golden Oud by Mizensir. At the heart of this fragrance is Oud Assafi, a rare oil sourced from the Bangladesh-India border, celebrated for its purity and exquisite balance of leathery, balsamic, and smoky facets.
An Exquisite Composition of Depth and Elegance
Oud Assafi (Oud Essential Oil):
The star ingredient, known as one of the world’s finest oud extracts. Perfectly balanced—smoky yet not animalic, rich yet delicately nuanced, it offers a refined centrepiece to the entire composition.
Frankincense & Bulgarian Rose:
To highlight the oud’s more ethereal qualities, Alberto Morillas adds frankincense and Bulgarian rose. The frankincense lends a subtle, resinous freshness, while the rose complements the oud with a gentle floral warmth, enhancing its elegance without overpowering its character.
Papyrus:
A nod to mystery and history, papyrus deepens the fragrance’s enigmatic aura, drawing out the shadows within the oud. Its earthy dryness underscores the sense of exoticism that defines Golden Oud.
Amyris Wood & Cetalox:
Rounding off the composition, amyris wood and cetalox introduce a soft sensuality and enveloping warmth. They ground the fragrance with a smooth, woody finish that lingers invitingly on the skin, making the scent equally appealing for both men and women.
Why Golden Oud Stands Out
Rare & Precious Oud: The use of Oud Assafi, sourced from remote corners of Asia, ensures a unique, luxurious profile that is perfectly balanced—leathery, smoky, and sweetly balsamic.
Gentle Floral Resonance: Bulgarian rose adds a graceful floral lift, while frankincense brightens the composition, ensuring the scent remains light on its feet, even with such a rich oud at its core.
Balanced Mystery & Warmth: Papyrus introduces intrigue, while amyris wood and cetalox lend a comforting softness, creating a harmonious blend that is as wearable as it is distinctive.
