Ideal Oud
by Mizensir
Ideal Oud by Mizensir presents a refined and transparent interpretation of the classic rose-oud-saffron theme. It opens with a bright, floral-woody accord marked by Bulgarian rose and saffron, with a subtle citrus lift and a soft, powdered elegance that unfolds gently over time. The oud is presented as clean and camphorous rather than animalic or intense—its presence is smooth, well-integrated, and medicinal in a restrained way. As the scent settles, it develops into a quiet, sophisticated aura with a faintly leathery and woody backbone, enhanced by hints of papyrus and labdanum. The wearer is left with a delicate, translucent impression that lingers without being overpowering.
