Oud: the ‘black gold’ of perfumery. Every precious drop tells a story centuries in the making.
Rather than extract, we reconstruct—replicating oud’s molecular signature while leaving the forest untouched.
🤲
Did you know that when you smell an odor, you’re actually breathing in tiny molecules. ✨💨 These molecules stimulate specialized nerve cells, called olfactory sensory neurons, high inside the nose.There are a few million of these cells inside your nose. Each makes one of about 500 different types of odor receptor, enabling it to selectively capture a specific set of odor molecules. 🔬🥼
By using bioengineering, we’re now able to produce the same molecules as those found in flowers, spices, or other natural sources, but without relying on traditional extraction methods! These biosynthetic molecules are chemically identical to their natural counterparts, ensuring that the fragrance maintains the same quality and complexity without compromising on ethical or environmental concerns. 👃🏽🧪
