The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Golden Oud by Mizensir, launched in 2020 and crafted by Alberto Morillas, is an Oriental Woody fragrance that balances the richness of oud with the warmth of amber and rose. The composition opens with a bright freshness from Bulgarian Rose and olibanum, before diving into a heart of agarwood (oud) and papyrus, which adds depth and complexity. The base notes of cetalox, amyris, and leather create an enveloping musky warmth that lingers on the skin.

How to wear it

Apply Golden Oud to pulse points for an enveloping warmth. The fragrance blooms fully within an hour, so it's best to wait a moment after application before layering clothing over the scent. It reads better close to skin than across a room.
