In crafting the latest addition to the Absolus d’Orient collection, Guerlain Perfumer Thierry Wasser found inspiration in the distinctive and precious Oud wood, resulting in Oud Essentiel. This fragrance stands as a grand tribute to the rare ingredient, showcasing its authentic potency and sensuality. Balancing mellowness with intensity, the composition combines the enigmatic tones of leather and frankincense with the sweet nuances of Bulgarian Rose, creating a subtle alchemy in this woody leather masterpiece.
