From the first moment, Oud Imperial by Perris Monte Carlo unfolds a hypnotic aura that defies convention and transcends time. This masterful creation by Luca Maffei is not simply a fragrance, but a sensorial experience that pays homage to the mythical oud: that dark, resinous wood that for centuries has been a symbol of luxury, spirituality, and mystery in Eastern cultures.

When applied to the skin, an unexpected symphony opens the curtain: caraway unfolds its spicy and slightly aniseed character, while jasmine adds a luminous, seductive, floral whisper that softens the edges with understated elegance. It's a brief but intense introduction, like the first chord of an opera that foretells a vibrant story yet to be told.

At the heart of the composition emerges the undisputed star: oud wood, intense, warm, and enveloping. But this oud doesn't come alone: ​​it is accompanied by a deep and meditative incense, evoking ancient temples and sacred ceremonies. Patchouli brings an earthy and mysterious undertone, and saffron adds a golden, spicy, and almost creamy touch, as if each note of the perfume were woven from oriental silk threads.

The olfactory journey is based on a luxurious and powerful base. Indian rosewood brings a woody and exotic sweetness, while labdanum introduces an amber-resinous accord, with an animalistic and enveloping undertone. Vetiver, sandalwood, and cedar intertwine in an aromatic bed that exudes nobility, character, and sobriety. This underlying woody structure ensures a majestic hold and an imposing trail, without being invasive.

Oud Imperial is not a perfume to go unnoticed. It is a manifesto of identity and distinction, a tribute to the finest raw materials of niche perfumery, presented with the refined elegance that characterizes the Perris Monte Carlo house. Each drop encapsulates a perfect balance between Eastern tradition and European savoir-faire, between the mystical and the contemporary.

Ideal for both men and women, this fragrance transcends gender and seasons. It's perfect for special moments, but also sophisticated enough to become a daily olfactory signature for those who dare to stand out with powerful discretion.

Oud Imperial invites you on a sensorial journey through the bazaars of the Middle East, the perfumed temples of Southeast Asia, and the gilded salons of Monte Carlo. A fragrance that speaks of timeless elegance, spirituality, and a beauty that doesn't shout, but leaves a profound impression.

In the world of niche perfumery, this creation is a must-have for lovers of authentic oud, without excess, without compromise, but with a sophistication that makes it a masterpiece of olfactory art. Do you dare to dress your skin in the essence of the most noble Orient?
