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 solid perfume, body heat activates the wax base at the pulse points. Step four of the Cleanse Ritual — the pulse-point top-up that lasts hours and travels in a pocket.
