HeartThe Soul
The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018, The Time by The House of Oud is crafted by perfumer Cristian Calabro and stands as an aromatic and floral composition that captures the essence of a fleeting yet enduring moment. The fragrance opens with bright notes of bergamot, chamomile, and lemon verbena, creating a fresh and uplifting aroma. As it evolves, wormwood and oolong tea add a subtle green and herbal complexity, while iris and black tea bring depth and warmth. Cedar, amber, and musk form the woody base, grounding the scent in a powdery, sensual embrace.
Apply two sprays for optimal longevity — the fresh top notes will fade within an hour, but the powdery and woody base will linger throughout the day. Ideal for daytime wear when you want a scent that evolves gracefully.
