Launched in 2024, Dear Karma by The House of Oud is a composition that balances the warmth of incense and absinthe with the earthy richness of leather and ambergris. Perfumer Cristian Calabro has crafted a fragrance that opens with the spicy, aromatic notes of saffron and myrrh, before settling into a base of patchouli, musk, and vetiver. The contrast between the bright, almost sweet incense and the smoky, animalic undertones creates an intriguing interplay that keeps Dear Karma engaging throughout its wear.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance in two moderate sprays; it blooms fully over the first hour. The incense top notes are bright but fleeting, so the rich base notes like patchouli and musk will carry you through the day.
