A CALL FOR FALL!
WOODY MOOD
The story of Woody Mood begins in 1973 when American photographer Roger Steffens takes a walk into the woods, and captures a woman’s figure’s picture with his analog camera.
Who would have guessed his enigmatic shot — of northern California’s giant redwood sequoia trees — would one day inspire perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour to create Woody Mood?
The sparkly Bergamot, aromatic Clary Sage, spicy Ginger and Saffron lead the way, followed by imaginative accords of Sequoia and Jatamansi, oriental Black Tea extract, and resinous Frankincense. The scented path continues with the leathery Styrax, and Leather accord, ultimately ends into exotic woods with a Cocoa Powder accord, and Indonesian Patchouli.
Our bestselling fragrance clearly sets the mood for the latest season, and it’s a woody one!
A NATION’S RESINOUS PRIDE
OMAN’S MYSTICAL LUBAN
Back in March 2022 the Olfactive Studio reporting team visited Oman for ten days, hoping to uncover the mystery behind a delicate ingredient: Frankincense, or as said in Arabic (Oman’s spoken language) “Luban” — from which derives the Latin word Olibanum, and “Oliban” in French.
As introduced in our previous article from February, Oman is the birthplace of the Boswellia sacra species, the same Incense the Christ supposedly received on his birthday — a noble gift from the three magi.
We wanted to know more about Olibanum, so we visited a local distiller in Muscat, the capital of Oman, as well as a Frankincense researcher in Salalah, in the southern Dhofar region, to find some answers about this mysterious raw material and its market…
Follow us into the land of Frankincense and in the Dhofari desert, and travel through time to the early days of Luban!
