Maurizio Cerizza launched Just Before in 2018 for The House of Oud, a composition that captures the essence of anticipation. It opens with a bright citrus-aromatic blend of lemon and bergamot, which gives way to the warm, spicy notes of saffron and myrrh. At its heart, palo santo and ylang-ylang add a touch of balsamic richness, while vanilla, amber, sandalwood, and benzoin form a deeply comforting base that lingers on the skin.

Application Tips
One spray is sufficient to capture its essence; the citrus opening fades within two hours but leaves the base notes to linger. Best for cooler evenings when the warm spices feel most inviting.
