Fragrance story
Part of Caron’s Wonderful Collection, Oud Excelsa explores the mystical side of agarwood. Perfumer Jean Jacques anchors rare Vietnamese oud with a double shot of Ethiopian & Colombian coffee, its roasted warmth accelerated by fresh Guatemalan cardamom. Smoky Spanish cistus, pyrogenic birch and Atlas cedar add leathery depth, while Indian papyrus and a grace note of Bulgarian rose lend elegance. Other-worldly, sophisticated, quietly powerful.
