Description
Leather Oud opens with warm, spicy notes of clove and cardamom. At the heart, the fragrance unveils leathery, woody, smoky notes of oud. The resinous, woody trail reveals a blend of cistus (rockrose) and birch tree. The result is fairly heady, with a burnt, animalic effect. Perfumer: François Demachy
At a glance
An oriental encounter between leather and oud
History
Leathery, woody and animalic, Leather Oud is part of Dior’s Collection Couturier Parfumeur. This series of essences was composed for connoisseurs of fine fragrances by François Demachy, the House of Dior’s perfumer-designer. Each of the creations in the collection was inspired by different moments in the history of the House of Dior, like a tribute to the fashion designer and his most important encounters. Leather Oud evokes Monsieur Dior’s travels throughout the world… particularly in the East, where oud wood is in such high demand. François Demachy came up with an oud fragrance worked with a leathery, animalic theme.
Range
4.2, 8.5 and 15-oz. bottles.
Bottle
The cylindrical Leather Oud bottle affords a glimpse of a slightly ambry juice. An elegant white label graces the bottle with the name of the fragrance. The grooved black cap grants a touch of contrast and of elegance.
