The story behind the bottle.
Christian Provenzano crafted Pearl Oud for By Kilian in 2015, bringing together oud and leather with an unexpected touch of rose and iris. The composition opens with saffron and black pepper, creating a fresh spicy contrast to the smoky, warm spiciness that follows. This unisex fragrance balances bold woodsmoke and rich leather with floral notes, making it a complex blend that evolves throughout the day.
Pearl Oud has a strong base that takes time to bloom. Apply two sprays on pulse points in the morning for full development by evening. The fragrance is close-to-skin, so layering it under clothes can enhance its warmth and depth.
