The Fragrance
Black Oud opens with cardamom and black pepper, a sharp, clean lift that turns warm within the hour. At its centre, oud and sandalwood: a resin formed over years in the Aquilaria tree, steadied by wood. It settles into dark vanilla and amber, the warmth that stays. Noticed at close range. Present across a room, never loud.
The full storyThe Notes




Inside the box
The eau de parfum at twenty-five percent, in a bottle blown by hand. The beard oil, the balm and the shampoo, each carrying the same composition from the shower to the door. They sit in their places in a rigid gift box, assembled by hand in England, lined and sleeved. Nothing to wrap. Nothing to add.
“I made this for the moment it is handed over, and for every morning after.”
One of One Thousand
This batch of the Black Oud Collection is one thousand hand-assembled gift boxes, nine months from start to finish. The fragrance is macerated for four weeks, then chilled, filtered and rested for six. The glass is blown by hand. The packaging is assembled by hand in England. When this batch is gone, the next is months away.
