Voluptuous Oud is a 2024 release from luxury niche perfumer Francesca Bianchi, who treats perfumery as "an intellectual process," inspired by "the power of what it means to be human, by the wish to connect with people’s inner life, the desire to spark an emotion in them and make them feel at home in their own bodies, offer solace, or just a quick fix for a bad day." Voluptuous Oud, an Oriental Woody fragrance, has a scent profile of amber, leather, fresh spicy, powdery, woody, caramel, fruity, oud, citrus, and sweet accords.
Green Mandarin, Bergamot, Plum, Heliotrope, Cambodian Oud, Caramel, Leather, Tolu Baalsam, Vetiver
From Francesca Bianchi:
"Accords: leathery, fruity, woody
Mood: erotic, intimate, animalic, mysterious
A rich, seductive, and absolutely lustful interpretation of Oud: I wanted to offer a warm and comforting experience, but with the dirty and animalic intensity of Oud.
It is a fragrance that once again expresses my obsession with human intimacy and the experience of it: the infinite sweetness of bodily closeness, the search for the animal aspect in human beings. A search for the quintessence of humanity, starting from *Sex and the Sea* and *Under My Skin*, passing through *The Lover’s Tale* and *Unspoken Musk*.
It is a fragrance that, in its extrait formulation, shows all its complexity and sweetness, sensuality, and lust, like a magical realm of abundance.
It is the wonderful feeling of opulence and fullness of a round Oud, which combines its woody part with animalic and leathery aspects, whose sometimes very pungent character is softened by the sweetness of caramel.
The other typical aspect of this beautiful material, which resembles cheese, is amplified but in a gourmand sense, accentuated by creamy, buttery, and fruity notes (plum).
The same sensation of richness, abundance, and extreme sweetness found in Middle Eastern pastries, very sweet and exuberant."
This is an extrait de parfum, so use sparingly as the concentration is 25%. It has a great longevity (an average of 12h).
Note: Samples are sold by the 1ml. You may purchase up to 2ml. Samples of 1ml or less will come in a glass vial with a dabber. Samples larger than 1ml will come in small glass spray bottles. All samples will be consolidated unless expressly requested otherwise.
