Oud De Grasse, an Extrait de Parfum by the Canadian fragrance brand Solafa Scents, represents a remarkable achievement in the world of perfumery. Released in 2023, this creation by Taha Syed stands as his most challenging and time-consuming work to date. Drawing inspiration from classic chypre fragrances like Mitsouko, Aramis, and Chypre Extraordinaire, Oud De Grasse pushes the boundaries of traditional perfumery by blending predominantly natural ingredients with a selection of synthetic compounds, showcasing the best of both worlds.The scent of Oud De Grasse is a testament to Taha Syed's dedication to reinventing the chypre genre. The fragrance opens with vibrant top notes of twangy tonka, grapefruit, and Mexican juniper, setting the stage for a lively introduction. The heart of the perfume features a rich herbaceous blend of geranium and patchouli, adding complexity and depth to the scent. As the fragrance evolves, warm and deep base notes of amber, sandalwood, natural oakmoss, and a subtle hint of civet emerge, providing a comforting and long-lasting foundation.Sustainable Thai oud and wild-crafted Burmese oud are masterfully woven throughout the scent profile, resulting in the highest concentration of oud in any of Taha's creations. While the presence of oud is noticeable, it is skillfully incorporated to enrich and add depth to the other ingredients rather than dominate the fragrance. Oud De Grasse demonstrates the potential of a mostly-synthetics scent genre when elevated with rich, natural ingredients.The scent pyramid of Oud De Grasse is as follows:Top notes:TonkaGrapefruitMexican juniperMiddle notes:GeraniumPatchouliBase notes:OrientalSandalwoodOakmoss (natural)Civet (hint)Thai oudBurmese oudOud De Grasse by Solafa Scents is a masterful reinterpretation of the classic chypre fragrance, offering a unique and captivating scent experience that expertly balances the use of natural and synthetic ingredients.
