The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2022 by The House of Oud and created by Maurizio Cerizza, Ruby Red is a unisex fragrance that balances sweet and spicy notes with depth and warmth. It opens with the brightness of ginger flower and tangerine, which gives way to the rich, creamy scent of tuberose and ylang-ylang. The candied ginger adds a touch of sweetness before settling into a base of vanilla, woody notes, and musk.
One or two sprays are sufficient as the candied ginger and tuberose notes project well. The fragrance blooms over time, so it’s best to apply early for full impact throughout the day.
