White Oud
Fragrance notes
Character
Lemon brightens the dim lounge as the door swings shut, its sharp peel cutting through warm air that already carries a heavy wood. Iris follows with a soft, powdery veil that settles near the collar, while the oud beneath moves with quiet weight and stays close to the body. The citrus fades slowly, letting the resinous depth hold the room without ever reaching across it, and the scent remains present through the evening as conversations drift and glasses clink.
Hamid Merati-Kashani composed this oriental woody blend for Emirates Pride Perfumes in 2016, and the result feels built for low light. Violet and earthy facets ground the floral heart, giving the iris a cool, slightly rooty edge that avoids any sugary turn. Aromatic touches keep the lemon from feeling like a cleaning product, steering it toward a polished, expensive atmosphere that suits both women and men who want a fragrance with presence but no loud announcement.
The powdery accord lingers on fabric and skin alike, wrapping the wearer in a cloud that feels intimate rather than expansive. Oud provides the backbone, resinous and dark, while the citrus spark flickers only at the start. Violet returns in the final hours, mingling with the woody base to leave a clean, earthy impression that stays long after the first spray.
