The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2024 by Caron and crafted by perfumer Jean Jacques, Oud Excelsa is a bold Woody Spicy fragrance for women and men. This scent opens with aromatic and warm spicy notes before giving way to the rich, smoky essence of oud, underscored by the earthy warmth of leather and the floral sweetness of rose. The base features coffee and woody accords that create a complex and layered composition, embodying both sophistication and depth.
Apply one or two sprays to pulse points. The aromatic top notes dissipate quickly, giving way to the rich oud and leather base that blooms over time. Best suited for evenings when you want a fragrance that evolves throughout the night.
