East is dedicated to the addiction of travelling. Of the five senses, none has the power to transport us quite like scent. Sometimes, just one hit of a long-forgotten smell is enough to sweep you off your feet, carrying you towards some distant land or time. One aroma that always takes us to a different place is that of oud, the rare and mysterious oil that comes from the core of the aquilaria tree.

Oud is an aroma that invokes the Middle East, a place with its own idiosyncratic set of smells and flavours. So, in tribute to travel and oud, we created East. East is a fragrance that’ll transport you to those grand deserts and energetic street markets whenever you’re dreaming of somewhere far away.

Rose and oud in perfect dialogue — fruity and vivid against leathery and assured. Bold contrast.

Editor's Notes

East is a dialogue between rose and oud. The rose is fruity and vivid, the oud leathery and assured — balanced perfectly.

This is a rose-oud done with confidence and clarity, a reminder of why these two notes are eternally entwined. Light and dark, sharp and soft, East captures contrast without chaos. It avoids the heavy muddiness of many oud compositions on the market today, allowing the wood to breathe and to move. And the rose is no mere ornament. It shimmers between apple and raspberry tones, between enchantment and danger. It is an alchemical bloom whose boundaries with oud blur and dissolve. In East, one never quite knows where the rose ends and the oud begins, and that is precisely its spell.
