Legacy of Oud & Musk in Middle Eastern Perfumery

Timeless notes that transcend tradition.

For centuries, oud and musk have shaped the olfactory identity of the Middle East, playing a central role not only in personal fragrance but also in rituals, ceremonies, and to scent homes as a symbol of hospitality, luxury, and spiritual depth.

Oud

Also known as “liquid gold,” oud is extracted from the resinous heartwood of the agar tree. This rare and precious ingredient develops only when the tree is naturally infected, making it incredibly scarce and valuable. With its smoky, woody, and slightly sweet aroma, oud has historically been reserved for royalty and sacred practices. Today, it remains a cornerstone in high-end perfumery, cherished for its depth, longevity, and unmistakable richness.

Musk

Once sourced from the musk deer in the Himalayas and Tibet, it was among the most coveted ingredients in early perfumery and was believed to hold both healing and spiritual powers. While natural musk is no longer used, modern perfumery has recreated it through ethical and sustainable synthesis capturing its warm, intimate, skin-like depth. Musk lends softness and balance to any fragrance, anchoring lighter notes and adding a lingering sense of warmth.

The Aether Collection: A Harmonious Blend

Together, oud and musk create harmony — deep, evocative, and enduring. Their blend embodies both power and calm, shaping spaces with scent as much as with presence.

The Aether Collection pays tribute to these timeless notes, reimagined through marble vessels that celebrate the rituals of beauty and stillness from which they were born.
