White Lilac Oud

A bittersweet time each summer, White Lilac Oud is our last lilac release of the year. Because the white lilacs were so incredible this year – massive fluffy blossoms that practically shook the earth around them when they burst into bloom in the spring – we used only these pale delicate petals for the limited perfume oil. The pure extracted white lilac oil is combined with a rich, fragrant oud wood oil from the heartwood of the tropical evergreen tree Aquilaria, also known as “the wood of the gods”. An unexpected late summer treat. the white lilac is powdery and romantic, and we wanted something deeper and darker. Intertwined with the sensuality of the oud, the perfume is less bright, creamy floral and more tactile and animalistic, with undercurrents of crumbly, damp earth, and sticky, honeyed heartwood.
