BDK PARFUMS – Nectar Oud
Nectar Oud Extrait magnifies the unexpected union of three rare raw materials, raspberry, oud wood and saffron, through a play of contrasts and colours.
At the heart of this creation, a raspberry takes on a bold and unexpected dimension and is far from its usual light and tangy character. Juicy, dense, and strikingly natural, it evokes a golden nectar into which the fruit seems to melt, revealing a radiant and sensual brightness. Oud wood, as precious as gold, brings incomparable depth. Majestic and smoky, it blends seamlessly with the enveloping softness of raspberry. From this fusion emerges a new kind of sensuality, a vibrant richness where each drop seems suspended between gold and nectar. Saffron, supported by the woody and leathery nuances of amyris and worked like powdered gold, completes the composition, enhancing the union of fruit and wood with a golden warmth. Like Gustav Klimt’s gilded canvases, where gold becomes matter, light and movement, Nectar Oud Extrait, developed with Anne Flipo exclusively for Harrods, plays with texture, depth and olfactory richness. Each drop evokes a precious glow, each trail a golden adornment on the skin.

Penhaligons – Fortuitous Finley
SALTED PISTACHIO.
Originally cultivated in hot climates of the Middle East, East Asia and the Mediterranean, the pistachio is one of the oldest nut trees. As addictive as it is unusual, salted pistachio adds both creamy and green qualities to a scent. Its gourmand nature makes a fragrance a little sweeter, but this is offset by the darker, leather-like note of Saffiano. [PARA] VIOLET LEAF.
Violet leaf is a unique note in perfumery, often associated with a fresh, green, and slightly earthy aroma that carries an air of elegance. It wasn’t until the Renaissance and Victorian periods when it became a staple in the world of perfumery with the petals being ground. Nowadays, it’s almost impossible to harvest the scent of a violet from its petals, and perfumers now use the leaf to capture its sweet, fresh facets. [PARA] LEATHER.
Long has leather been used in perfumery to add richness, depth and warmth to a scent. In Fortuitous Finley, it is the synthetic note of Saffiano™ that lends the fragrance this leather-like sensuality, evoking the tough yet supple character of a worn leather jacket or broken in saddle.
