Description
Carved Oud by Thameen is a compelling woody fragrance that draws inspiration from the ancient Indian ritual of Solah Shringar, a sixteen-stage adornment for royal women. It opens with a vibrant, spicy kick of Guatemalan cardamom and fresh cypress, immediately setting a sophisticated tone. As it develops, a deep, angular oud from South India emerges, beautifully blended with earthy patchouli, cedarwood, and a touch of iris, creating a rich and complex heart. The fragrance settles into a warm, smooth base of creamy sandalwood, musk, vanilla, Haitian vetiver, and amber, leaving a lasting impression of refined elegance. This is an approachable oud, striking a balance that is neither too heavy nor overly sweet, making it a versatile choice for those seeking a distinguished woody scent. Perfumer: Alexandre Illan
