The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018 by The House of Oud and created by Maurizio Cerizza, Live In Colors is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that captures the essence of vibrant contrasts. Grapefruit and lemon form a bright citrus top note that cuts through with freshness, while red fruits add a juicy sweetness. Pink pepper and ginger bring a soft spicy warmth to the heart, creating an aromatic tension that balances perfectly between zesty and warm. The base notes of hinoki wood and musk offer a grounding earthiness that anchors this dynamic composition.
Apply Live In Colors lightly — the grapefruit and lemon top notes are potent and will fade within two hours. The hinoki wood and musk base notes take about an hour to fully bloom, so it's best worn in layers for a lasting effect.
