- Description
- A spare, striking floral-oud built as a tribute to the Andalusian musician and polymath Ziryab. Tulip gives the opening a watery, green, slightly metallic floral quality, while oud, saffron, Atlas cedar, and amber form a warm woody body underneath. It feels restrained and unusual: not a sweet rose-oud, but a cool dark floral set against dry ambered woods.
