by Chopard
Or de Calambac by Chopard presents a layered, textured experience that leans into dense gourmand-woody oriental territory. It opens with a bright spark of pink pepper and star anise, tempered by aromatic juniper and light cypress, creating a green, slightly untamed character. The heart unfolds with a rich, nutty cacao and hazelnut base intertwined with warm cinnamon and tonka, giving it a soft, velvety sweetness that feels both indulgent and restrained. As the fragrance develops, distinct notes of myrrh, labdanum, and oud emerge, grounding the composition in a deep, slightly smoky woody-balsamic core. The result is an elegant, unisex scent with a sophisticated balance between sweet, spicy, and resinous elements. Wearers describe it as smooth, well-blended, and unexpectedly wearable—ideal for night wear, autumn and winter months, and sophisticated settings. Its sillage is moderate, longevity moderate to long, and the projection is subtle, making it suitable for formal occasions or intimate moments. The scent evokes a quiet intensity, reminiscent of niche fragrances like Mechant Loup or another oud that embraces a gourmand-amber texture.
