Oudh Al-Quds 50 ML

Oudh Al-Quds

The scent of holy stone and heavenly smoke.

Vibe in a Sentence: A fragrance of profound duality, where the sacred, smoky resins of ancient temples meet the deep, spiritual oud of devotion, all resting upon the enduring, mineral scent of sun-warmed stone—a olfactory pilgrimage to a city where heaven and earth touch.

Fragrance Notes

Top Notes (The Approach to the Holy City):

• Dry Desert Air (Mineral Accord): A unique opening of cool stone, flint, and a hint of dry dust, capturing the scent of ancient limestone walls and the paved paths of the Old City.

• Cypress: A crisp, green, and slightly coniferous note, representing the resilient trees on the hills and a symbol of eternity and mourning.

• Saffron: A precious, golden thread, hinting at the city's immense spiritual value and the richness of its history.

Heart Notes (The Soul of the Sanctuary):

• Agarwood (Oud) from the Holy Land: A theoretical, sacred oud. It is not animalic, but deeply resinous, woody, and slightly smoky, as if the wood has absorbed centuries of prayer. It is solemn and venerable.

• Frankincense (Olibanum) & Myrrh: The quintessential sacred resins. Frankincense provides a silvery, elevating smoke, while myrrh adds a dark, balsamic, medicinal depth—together representing the prayers of the three Abrahamic faiths.

• Rose of Jericho: Instead of a typical rose, this uses the symbolic "Resurrection Plant." The scent is subtle, dry, and earthy, with a faintly herbal and aquatic character upon opening, symbolizing hope, rebirth, and resilience.

Base Notes (The Eternal Foundation):

• Atlas Cedarwood: The wood of the temples and mosques, dry, robust, and enduring.

• Amber (A Light, Resinous Accord): A warm, glowing amber that represents the eternal, divine light and the warmth of the community.

• Leather (From Worn Pilgrim Belts): A soft, warm, and human note, representing the countless souls who have journeyed here.

• Papyrus & Vanilla Bourbon: A final, subtle blend of dry, ancient paper (knowledge, scripture) and a comforting, smoky vanilla (hope, solace).

The Vibe & Character

• Sacred & Historical: This is not a frivolous scent. It smells ancient, heavy with history, and deeply reverent. It is a fragrance for contemplation.

• Duality & Peace: It balances light (frankincense, amber) and dark (myrrh, stone), reflecting the city's complex history and the hope for peace. It is solemn yet hopeful.

• Grounding & Ethereal: The mineral, stone accord is powerfully grounding, while the incense and oud lift the spirit. It truly feels like a bridge between the physical and the spiritual.

• Genderless & Universal: It transcends gender and specific religion. It is a scent for anyone on a spiritual path, a seeker of history, or a lover of profound peace.

When & Where to Wear It

• Perfect for: Meditation, prayer, moments of deep introspection, and wearing as a personal talisman of peace and faith. It is a scent for quiet days and meaningful conversations.

• Signature Scent for: The pilgrim, the historian, the peacemaker, the person who carries the weight of the world with a hopeful heart. Their faith, whether in God or humanity, is their core strength.

• Sillage & Longevity: Low to moderate sillage with long-lasting longevity. It creates an intimate, respectful aura. It doesn't shout; it whispers ancient prayers. It stays on the skin for 10+ hours, a constant, comforting presence.

The Story It Tells

• The Scene: The Dome of the Rock at dawn. The cool, smooth stone of the courtyard is just beginning to warm with the first rays of sun. The air is perfectly still, carrying the faint, intermingled scents of aged wood, cold stone, and the lingering, sweet smoke of last night's incense—a silence so profound it feels like a prayer itself.

• The Persona: They are a keeper of peace in a world of conflict. They understand that true holiness is found in compassion. They carry the scars of history but are not defined by them. Wearing Oudh Al-Quds is an act of remembrance, hope, and personal devotion.

Poetic & Evocative

• 1: Oudh Al-Quds is more than a fragrance; it is an olfactory pilgrimage to one of the world's oldest, holiest cities. It captures the profound duality of a place where heaven and earth touch—where the sacred smoke of frankincense and myrrh from ancient temples rises to meet the cool, mineral scent of sun-warmed limestone. The oud here is not wild, but venerable and solemn, as if the very agarwood has absorbed centuries of prayer. This is a scent of history, conflict, and the enduring hope for peace.

• 2: How does one capture the scent of a city sacred to billions? With Oudh Al-Quds, the answer is through contrast and reverence. It is the smell of cool stone courtyards at dawn and the warm, resinous glow of amber by dusk. It is the dry, resilient cypress tree on the hillside and the miraculous, watery green of the Rose of Jericho blooming after a rain. This fragrance doesn't take sides; it seeks the divine thread that connects all faiths, offering a moment of shared serenity and introspection.

Oudh Al-Quds Eau de Parfum

• Size: 50 ML

The Fragrance:
Oudh Al-Quds is a solemn and evocative fragrance that tells the story of Jerusalem through scent. It opens with a unique mineral accord of dry desert air and cool stone, paired with the crisp, evergreen scent of cypress and a thread of precious saffron. The heart is a sacred dialogue between a spiritual, resinous oud, the silvery smoke of frankincense, the dark balm of myrrh, and the subtle, earthy rebirth of the Rose of Jericho. This profound accord rests on a base of dry Atlas cedarwood, a luminous amber accord, soft leather, and the dry, scholarly scent of papyrus.

Key Notes:

• Top: Mineral Accord, Cypress, Saffron

• Heart: Spiritual Oud, Frankincense, Myrrh, Rose of Jericho

• Base: Cedarwood, Amber, Leather, Papyrus

The Vibe:
Sacred, Historical, Meditative. Oudh Al-Quds is for moments of deep contemplation, spiritual connection, and personal peace. It is a genderless scent for the pilgrim, the historian, and the peacemaker.

Oudh Al-Quds is a fragrance of remarkable conceptual strength and atmospheric brilliance. It is less about a list of notes and more about conveying a profound sense of place. The opening 'mineral accord' is startlingly effective, creating a palpable sensation of cool, ancient stone. The heart is a masterful blend where the frankincense and myrrh are rendered with liturgical precision, while the oud acts as a solemn, woody backbone. The use of the Rose of Jericho is inspired, providing a subtle, earthy, and slightly aquatic greenness that symbolizes hope without relying on a typical floralcy. The base of papyrus and cedar adds a dry, intellectual, and enduring quality. This is not a loud fragrance; its power is in its quiet intensity and its ability to transport the wearer. It has moderate sillage but impressive longevity, perfect for personal reflection."
