To create the new fragrance in the Absolus d’Orient collection, Guerlain Perfumer Thierry Wasser drew his inspiration from the unique and precious Oud wood : Oud Essentiel. The fragrance is a majestic celebration of this rare ingredient which reveals its true strength and sensuality.

Both mellow and intense, this woody leather fragrance blends the mysterious notes of leather and Frankincense and the sweet notes of Bulgarian Rose in a subtle alchemy.

A unique olfactory encounter between East and West.

Top notes: Saffran notes, Pelargonium.

Heart notes: Agarwood, Rose, Atlas Cedarwood.

Base notes: leather note, incense, Gaïac wood.

The nose behind this fragrance is Thierry Wasser
