Oud Shamash

Oud Shamash is a profound, complex woody spicy fragrance with a balsamic and amber-laden drydown. It opens with a dynamic blend of pink pepper, saffron, cinnamon, rum, and davana, creating a warm, boozy, slightly powdery top. The heart features a subtle yet persistent oud anchored by cypriol oil, rose, and sandalwood, giving it an earthy, slightly animalic elegance. The base unfolds into a lush, creamy fusion of amber, vanilla, patchouli, tolu balsam, labdanum, and musk, with a hint of leather — all enveloping and long-lasting. It evokes the atmospheric depth of Timbuktu and Jubilation XXV, with a richness reminiscent of Al Oudh but without the harshness or overt sweetness. Its scent is layered, shifting subtly over time, becoming smoother and more persistent after the first hour. Best worn in autumn or winter, it maintains good sillage and longevity, making it ideal for evening wear. It leans unisex with a masculine-leaning composition, resonating strongly with smoky, incense-laden, or balsamic perfumes.
