Polished oud, spiced and softened by creamy woods. Carved Oud by Thameen London is a sophisticated, modern oud extrait built around a rare South Indian oud. It opens with cardamom, pink pepper, cypress and cypriol, deepens into cedarwood, patchouli, iris and oud, and finishes in a smooth base of vetiver, amber, musk, sandalwood and vanilla.
The Story
Carved Oud is inspired by the artistry of ancient temple carvings and regal adornment, and by an Indian ritual of adorning a woman with perfumes and jewels in sixteen stages. The South Indian oud at its center is meant to recall the incense burned in Indian temples, lending the composition a sacred, ceremonial atmosphere.
How It Smells
Opening
Spicy and aromatic, with cardamom and pink pepper adding warmth without harshness over cypress and smoky cypriol.
Heart
The oud is polished and wearable, blended seamlessly with cedarwood, patchouli and iris rather than turning animalic or overpowering.
Dry Down
Creamy sandalwood, amber, vanilla and musk, grounded by vetiver and labdanum, leave a soft, luxurious trail of exceptional depth. Elegant and versatile, for those who want oud with sophistication rather than heaviness.
