Launched in 2023 by The House of Oud and created by Maurizio Cerizza, Hidden Shades is a Woody Floral Musk fragrance that weaves together the warmth of vanilla and amber with the richness of woody and spicy notes. It opens with mirabelle and citrus brightness before transitioning into a heart of cherry blossom and jasmine, which gives way to a powdery base of sandalwood, benzoin, tonka bean, patchouli, and musk. This composition is designed to evoke a sense of depth and complexity, where each layer reveals something new.

Application Tips
Hidden Shades blooms over time, so applying it to pulse points allows its layers to unfold gradually. The powdery base ensures that it feels close to skin rather than projecting strongly, making it ideal for more intimate settings.

The story behind the bottle.
The quiet sophistication of an after-dinner drink in a velvet-lined lounge, where the warmth of spices and vanilla blend with the softness of woody notes.
