Who Wears It
The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016 and crafted by the renowned perfumer Alberto Morillas, Original Oud by Mizensir stands out with its rich blend of woody and aromatic notes. The fragrance opens with a vibrant cardamom that cuts through the air, followed by the earthy warmth of leather and the depth of Laotian oud. This composition is anchored by warm spices and a powdery iris, creating an enveloping atmosphere that reads as both luxurious and intimate.
Apply one or two sprays to pulse points for a subtle yet lingering presence. This fragrance settles quickly on the skin, so it's best to wait a few minutes before heading out. It reads better close to the skin rather than in open spaces.
