East explores the way a smell can carry someone towards another place or a distant memory. Oud supplies its connection with the Middle East, with grand deserts and lively markets as the imagined setting. Olivier Cresp describes wanting to make oud wearable beyond a single region.
Raspberry opens the composition with a vivid fruit aspect. Oud Assafi and leather form the heart, bringing deeper wood and a drier leather character. Ambrox provides the base. Soft fruit and stronger woody shade meet, making sweetness part of an otherwise darker, more grounded picture.
It can suit an evening outing or an occasion when leather shoes or a bag call for an equally grounded fragrance. Someone seeking a fruity dimension around oud may enjoy it. Created by Olivier Cresp and introduced in 2023, East is an extrait de parfum. The illustrated 100mL black bottle carries a gold logo.
