The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Sapphire Blue by The House of Oud was launched in 2022 and crafted by perfumer Cristian Calabro, blending an aromatic opening with a warm, powdery heart that transitions seamlessly into a musky base. The fragrance begins with the freshness of West Indian Bay and mandarin orange, giving way to the floral notes of jasmine and orchid. These florals are then enveloped in the richness of vanilla and tonka bean, creating a comforting warmth that lingers on the skin.

How to wear it

Apply one to two sprays to your pulse points. The aromatic top notes are bright but fleeting, so it's best to let the powder and vanilla notes take center stage as they develop on the skin over time. This fragrance works well in cooler settings where its warmth can truly shine.
