HeartThe Soul
The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2022 by The House of Oud and crafted by perfumer Cristian Calabro, Sacred Groove is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance that balances the warmth of amber and musk with the freshness of citrus and lavender. It opens with a bright burst of bitter orange and angelica before transitioning into a heart of Turkish rose, jasmine, and iris — floral notes that are neither too sweet nor overpowering. The base notes of labdanum, myrrh, tonka bean, patchouli, and woody accords create a rich blend that feels both comforting and sophisticated.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points — Sacred Groove's top notes are bright but fleeting. The warm base notes will develop over time, so it’s best to let them build on skin throughout the day rather than layering multiple applications.
