The Oud Collection captures a bygone era when England and the Orient harmoniously intertwined, echoing the romantic intrigue of sheikhs, kings, and emissaries. These rare ouds, reminiscent of desert allure, reflect the essence of those who inspired them: Crown Prince Mohammed Ali Ibrahim, the enchanting Mabel Normand, Gertrude Bell, the desert queen, and Faisal I, the legendary Arabian King. Perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin crafted His Majesty The Oud eau de parfum to match the boldness of King Faisal I. A confidante of Gertrude Bell and ally to Lawrence of Arabia, Faisal was a charismatic leader and a historic Arabian figure. This epic fragrance mirrors his charisma and elegance.
 
The intense smokiness of the scent marries a rare natural oud essence from Laos with a complex lapsang souchong tea accord, evoking the aroma of Arabian stallion saddles. The Lapsang Souchong accord, infused with cade oil and mate absolute, imparts its smoky, leathery notes in the top layer, intertwined with clove. These notes transition into a heart of leather, blending with the rich woody tones of cedarwood and sandalwood. The fragrance culminates in a hypnotic blend of spicy styrax, animalic vanilla, and pure oud extract in the dry-down. It embodies intensely masculine refinement, daring in its olfactory conception, much like the king's famous desert gaze.
