Heaven and earth
No, I don't mean that original German dish with Blutwurst, apple and potatoes. It's about oud. The wonderful scent extracted from the eaglewood tree.
For all those who (like me until recently) do not know : This tree must first be attacked with a special mould. The tree then produces a lot of fragrant resin to protect its wood. This resin saturates the wood and colours it darker.
Et voilà, the oud - scented wood has been created. I don't know how many eaglewood trees are attacked by this fungus, probably not quite as many, because the oud fragrance is very expensive, can supposedly be balanced with gold...
A real treasure, just like the perfume Oud divin (divine oud) by Piguet.
And this is how it smells: When you sniff the sample, you get a feeling of well-being. A warm, woody scent streams towards me. I'd like more of that So spray it on! At the beginning a very dark, almost "black" smell of wood is noticeable, in addition a light scent of resin.
This initial mix reminds me as
Goldsmith on ebony when it is worked. Not unpleasant, but a little bit strict Soon afterwards the fragrance becomes softer and milder. The elegant background of dark wood is joined more and more by a subtle, resinous sweetness. The smell of pipe smoke and beeswax is added. The perfume slowly becomes lighter and softer, for a long time the dark precious wood remains as a constant in the background, but more and more the sweetish, smoky "honey resin scent" dominates.
I love it. This perfume doesn't bother me at all, on the contrary. The resin sticks my nose to the sprayed wrist Seriousness and elegance, but also a quiet, warm sensuality radiates this fragrance, a small "glow of embers".
There's something noble and withdrawn about him. All the time, however, a fragrant little fire crackles and smokes with...
Already a very long time ago, oud was used as "incense" for religious ceremonies to establish or facilitate the connection to the divine.
In aromatherapy, oud is considered grounding, relaxing.
Uplifting and yet very earthy. Yes, that's true of the "divine oud" Heaven and earth.)
