Kilian Pearl Oud

Mostly dense smoky resinous wood, rich and medicinal. An acquired taste for many Western noses. Underneath that, the flower itself, ranging from jammy to green depending on the blend.

It opens on saffron and black pepper, moves through turkish rose, rose and iris, and settles on agarwood (oud) and castoreum.

• saffron: warm leathery spice, dry with a faint medicinal bite
• black pepper: dry and hot, like pepper cracked straight from the mill

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
