Oriento

For ORIENTO, Vanina Muracciole reinterprets the rose oud accord that the brand describes as a Middle Eastern classic, bringing her idea of enigmatic musks into the composition. Rose and ylang-ylang give the floral character its fullness, while saffron and cinnamon lend warmth. Lemon and apple add a brighter facet without turning the fragrance into a simple fruit scent. The maker specifies an oud accord; guaiac wood, sandalwood and patchouli supply further woody texture. Styrax sits alongside the musk foundation, which the product description calls red musk. The result brings flowers, spice and woods into close contact. It suits a moment when a generous rose feels more appealing than a light, airy floral.
