The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Oud Nihal by Tiziana Terenzi was launched in 2016 and crafted by Paolo Terenzi. This Oriental Woody fragrance opens with a fresh spicy accord that introduces the warmth of rose and geranium, creating an immediate tension between freshness and richness. The heart of oud and gurjan balsam adds depth and complexity, while patchouli and cypriol oil bring earthy notes that ground the composition. The base of white oud and musk ensures a lingering warmth and sensuality, making it a fragrance that evolves gracefully throughout the day.

How to wear it

For best results, apply Oud Nihal to pulse points for maximum warmth and longevity. The fresh spicy top notes fade within two hours, but the base of oud and musk continues to unfold throughout the day, so a light application in the morning will ensure it lasts into the evening.
