Oud Laqué

Oud Laqué by Les Bains Guerbois starts with a burst of almost-astringent cardamom and geranium that settles into a long-wearing and sultry impression of sweet spiced oud, dried fruits, woods and leather. Most definitely worth the wait. From Les Bains Guerbois The tartness of raspberry brings a touch of sweetness to a spicy top note with roasted and subtle animal facets of saffron. The rosy note of geranium Bourbon confers elegance and sophistication to a woody structure with a strong personality. The oud evokes a dark leather with warm and smoky undertones. While the balsam facets of benzoin give a warm atmosphere to the whole. Les Bains Guerbois on the Formes et Matières Collection The Formes et Matières Collection is a feast of shapes, patterns, and materials seen and felt at 7 rue du Bourg l’Abbé in Paris’ 3rd arrondissement. Three fragrances — Raku, Damier and Oud Lacque —  exemplify the inimitable personality of this historic place since 1885. They hypnotize, stimulate, inspire, invigorate, and soothe; their evocative poetry rouses revery, contentment, well-being, excitement, joy, and a thousand other emotions.
