I designed Rose Oud in 2022, after two weeks in Kannauj watching the pre-dawn rose harvest. The challenge wasn’t getting rose into the formula — the challenge was holding rose against oud without one swallowing the other. Saffron does the diplomacy.
This is the formulation I am most proud of in the TLC range. It is also the one that took the longest to get right — 14 versions over eight months. The version you are buying is V14.
In this hand wash, the scent registers on first lather and fades cleanly. A surfactant-light base so the skin barrier stays intact through ten-plus washes a day.
