Quds
If you’ve been looking for a fragrance that captures the praised aromatics of the Holy Land but…
I wanted to give you a fragrance that showcases the aromatics mentioned in the Bible, weaved in a way to create an olfactory mosaic that’s beautiful, elegant, and reminiscent of those lands in those times.
In Quds, you’ll smell lush accords of dense pure saffron oleoresin and wild Nepalese spikenard, reddened further with myrrh, accentuated with Hojari frankincense and cinnamon. And more…
From galbanum to luban to sandalwood, cedar to juniper to fir, henna to cinnamon to nard, Quds showcases an ensemble of resins, fragrant heartwood and spices mentioned in the scriptures – not simply thrown together simply to claim it’s from the Holy Land, but in a proper perfumery context.
(This is not a cinnamon-forward fragrance at all, rather it’s used as an auxiliary note that plays into a more intricate arrangement of resins and spices.)
If you’ve been looking for a fragrance that captures the praised aromatics of the Holy Land but didn’t want just another bland cocktail of cut and diluted modern-day extracts, then Quds takes you there.
As for the aloes in the Song of Solomon, we can deduce from other sources that it was most likely Indian aloes. To that end, you’ve got an exquisite base composed of wild Nagaland and Jabarpahar oud, which creates a fantastic, vibrant fusion with the citrus and saffron – and especially the spices!
