Van Cleef & Arpels presents PRECIOUS OUD, a unisex "Eau de Parfum" that falls within the musky aromatic category. Introduced in 2011, this fragrance is characterized as both rare and valuable. The star ingredient is the distinguished Oud wood sourced from the Aquilaria tree, which thrives in India. This coveted wood yields a balsamic, woody resin that exudes earthy and fiery nuances, providing the fragrance with its unique identity. Complementing this are notes of iris and jasmine, which enhance the scent's allure in a warm and sensual manner. "I aimed for the scent to resonate with nature. These white blooms are famed for their intoxicating fragrance, allowing the oud to blend seamlessly into an unanticipated floral realm," says perfumer Amandine Marie. The harmonious combination of Oud and a vibrant bouquet of white flowers captures the essence of Precious Oud. This fragrance is part of the exclusive Van Cleef & Arpels private collection, inspired by the flora of the world’s most exquisite gardens. Each creation in this collection is crafted with the finest raw materials available.
