Or du Sérail – Eau de Parfum

Naomi Goodsir - OR DU SÉRAIL - Eau de Parfum  

The poetic presentation of "OR DU SÉRAIL" by Naomi Goodsir effortlessly encapsulates the essence of this fragrance creation. It unveils a dreamlike, otherworldly oriental symphony of colors, shrouded in secrets, pulsating with exciting exoticism and emanating forbidden sensual undertones. "OR DU SÉRAIL", meaning the gold of the seraglio, radiates magnificently, enveloping the senses in a kaleidoscope of fantasies. The olfactory experience unfolds with precious vanilla, candied fruits like dates, apples and oranges, alongside notes of wax, honey and rum-infused sugared delicacies. Simultaneously, subtle wisps of smoke from hookahs, carrying the essence of flavored tobacco, weave through the composition. Lighter spices intermittently sparkle, ultimately giving way to the warm embrace of amber and musk tones.

Labdanum plays a crucial role in accentuating a sensual and seductive dimension within the fragrance. Derived from the resin of the Cistus ladanifer shrub native to the Mediterranean, labdanum serves as a base note, imparting a warm, balsamic and subtly animalic character. With its deep, earthy nuance and notes of smokiness, woodiness and slight sweetness, labdanum adds complexity and depth to perfumes, often carrying a hint of resin or leather. Inspired by a painting by the French artist Eugène Delacroix, this fragrance embodies a luxurious, opulent and intricate oriental tobacco scent.
