Red Carved Oud

Red Carved Oud by Thameen

Red Carved Oud is the same fragrance as Carved Oud, in a limited edition red bottle. Based on a sixteen stage ritual for Indian Royalty, Carved Oud changes perceptions of what oud fragrances can be. A rare and exclusive oud has been blended to perfection, striking the right balance between earthy, floral, woody and sweet notes. Solah Shringar is a sixteen stage ritual to prepare royal women for public appearance.

Indian Royalty were considered somewhere between man and God and this ritual adornment with perfumes and jewels created something of a super-human presence. The name itself comes from temple designs and decorations and the image of the women, once decorated, as a perfect, carved goddess. The unique oud from the South of India, angular and sweetly edgy, dictates this heavenly scent. The top note blends beautifully with cedar wood and guaiac.

At the base, a pure patchouli and sun-baked vetivert add depth and warmth polished off by a smooth, temperate musk. Divine.
