Secret Oud, a new Woody Oriental fragrance by the House of Caron will debut worldwide March 2010.

As an homage to the finest essences of the East, Richard Fraysse, the Creative Nose  for the House of Caron juxtaposed two  precious ingredients–SAFFRON, a spice also called ‘yellow gold’ and the famous OUD, known as ‘Wood of the Gods’. Fraysee chose the addition of Damask Rose (for its luxuriant sweetness) and Rose Absolute to enhance the composition.

Notes: OUD WOOD, Atlas CEDARWOOD, SAFFRON MUSK, JATAMANSI, JASMINE, DAMASK ROSE ABSOLUTE, Grey-haired ROCKROSE*, AMBER

*Rockrose: a small shrub growing in the Jatamansi: a small plant native to the Himalayas, whose Mediterranean basin animal notes recall certain aspects of Oud Wood
