Mood for Oud

by Dominique Ropion - Jean-Louis Sieuzac
A multifaceted, changing, and elusive oud. Mood For Oud revolves around a rather particular idea: to recreate an oud that doesn't truly exist, but one that is perceived through various facets. The fragrance gives a shifting impression, like a material that evolves depending on what is captured.

The Fragrance

Mood for Oud opens with an aromatic freshness of bergamot and cardamom, bringing a clean and slightly spicy sensation. This provides a rather bright opening, almost unexpected for an oud-based fragrance. Then, coriander adds a drier, spicier transition, creating dimension and beginning to establish a more woody texture. Over time, the composition becomes deeper and warmer, with patchouli, guaiac wood, and amber creating a woody, slightly smoky, and enveloping sensation. The result remains quite smooth, with an "imagined" oud that is more elegant than raw. This is a fragrance that doesn't present oud overtly, but rather suggests it through various textures, oscillating between freshness, spices, and woods.

The brand

Miles Wambaugh is a Franco-American artist born in Paris in 1965 to a Parisian mother and a Bostonian father, who was a musician and writer. He grew up in an environment where art was a second language, before settling in the Somme Bay, where he lives in harmony with nature, ornithology, and hunting. His perfume house was born from a conviction: "art is man added to nature," and from a decisive encounter. Guided by Pierre Dinand, the greatest perfume bottle designer in the world, responsible for Opium, Dune, and Amarige, he crossed paths with Dominique Ropion and Jean-Louis Sieuzac, two legendary perfumers at IFF. Ropion, creator of Portrait of a Lady for Frédéric Malle. Sieuzac, composer of Opium, Fahrenheit, and Dune. A rare duo, working for a painter. The collection consists of five perfumes, each corresponding to a Miles Wambaugh painting: Coup d'État, Sure Shot, Mood for Oud, Son of a Gun, Hot Shot. Names that resonate powerfully in both languages, oriental and direct at the same time. The natural raw materials come exclusively from Laboratoire Monique Rémy, a world leader in natural essences. Each box contains an original signed and numbered drawing by the artist, making each bottle a collector's item. Bottle, painting, and perfume vibrate together, like a unique work presented in three dimensions.
