Kilian Musk Oud Refillable Spray

What it is: Musk Oud is a perfume built on the contrast between a liquorish overdosed rose (Bulgarian rose, geranium from India and davana from China) and an animalistic oud accord of great sensuality (cypriol, muscone, civettone) made comfortable thanks to captive musks.

Fragrance story: In the opening, the citrus notes of lemon and mandarin bring a ray of light warmed by spices of cardamom and coriander. A trace of cypress brings an unexpected departure to this unusual vibrato. The heart is an explosion of roses made syrupy and intoxicating thanks to the rum extract Co2. The dry down has been built to allow the most outrageous force of the oud accord to grow to full powder. A trace of frankincense and Indonesian patchouli brings a smoky facet to the composition saturated with dry woods. Created by perfumer Alberto Morillas, Musk Oud is a caressing animalistic scent with a uniquely warm sensuality.

“I want to put perfumery back on its pedestal by going back to the truth about perfume, back to the way perfume was made in the late 19th and the early 20th century, but adding a contemporary twist at the same time.” —Kilian Hennessy
