A modern oud, recast in amber, wood, and gourmand warmth.It opens in a flash of bergamot cut with black pepper — bright, dry, and slightly electric. Then oud takes the center: dense, shadowy, almost ceremonial. Vanilla and praline fold around it, softening the resin into something creamy, close, and quietly addictive.The drydown is deep and deliberate: woody, ambered, sweet without becoming soft. A scent that feels both ritual and presence — magnetic, composed, and unmistakably contemporary.Part of INITIO’s Black Gold Project, marked by the golden Tree of Life emblem and built around inner force, presence, and rite.
Luminous bergamot opens with crisp clarity, black pepper injects sharp tension, and a foundation of precious woods and oud delivers structure and depth. Soft vanilla and praline finish with a subtle, addictive warmth.
