The resins also gives the Turkish rose a little bit of an edge to push back against the oud. The classic oud ingredient pairing of rose follows given a resinous shine via olibanum and frankincense. I think he also adds lychee to make the raspberry even sweeter so it can stand up to the oud. Rasquinet uses raspberry as his fruity contrast. The Moon rises with the scent of that real oud up front. This specific oud canвЂ™t do anything but put your nose right into the heart of the real stuff while not caring a whit about being offensive. The accord is designed to be exotic and inoffensive. Rasquinet designs here is the genuine version of many department store fruity florals which have an oud accord.

If you like the qualities of oud described as вЂњdirty gym socksвЂќ, вЂњcheesyвЂќ, or вЂњa touch fecalвЂќ this is your kind of oud. Suffice it to say this is one of the more pungent varieties. I couldnвЂ™t find out the source of the oud being used here. As I wore it, I realized The Moon was the stinky fruity floral IвЂ™ve always wanted. Perfumer Julien Rasquinet takes the most rambunctious oud in the series, so far, out for a spin on top of a fruity floral set of ingredients. The latest addition to the sub-collection is called The Moon.ДЄs in the previous releases The Moon is created around a focal point oud. Since then there have been two other releases, Promise and Dawn. I now know The Night was the first of the Desert Gems collection celebrating oud as an ingredient. At the time I wondered what the eventual concept was going to be.

When Editions de Parfums Frederic Malle released The Night five years ago I thought it would be the first time for many to smell real oud in concentration.
