Gone Swimming in Bois Oudh
Fragrance notes
Gone Swimming in Bois Oudh brings together bright citrus and deep wood in a single composition. Mandarin orange and Sicilian orange lead with a clean, juicy brightness that feels immediate and clear. Pink pepper and cardamom add a gentle heat that keeps the opening from leaning too soft. Elemi resin gives the heart a faintly resinous edge that bridges the fruit and the heavier materials that follow. Vetiver and neroli steady the middle with a dry, slightly green touch that prevents the spices from overwhelming the lighter top notes.
The base rests on oud and sandalwood, which provide a dark, creamy foundation beneath the earlier freshness. Tonka bean and vanilla introduce a smooth sweetness that rounds out the sharper spices, while ambergris and musk add a warm, slightly powdery finish. Cedar supports the woods with a drier line that keeps the sweetness from becoming heavy. The result is a mix of citrus, spice, and resinous wood that stays balanced across its materials, with each layer present without one overtaking the rest.
