A lustrous Oud shining as Ankaa

Guided by Ankaa, the brightest jewel of the Phoenix constellation, a voyage begins — a passage through realms where light and shadow weave in celestial harmony. At the soul of this journey lies Agarwood, the most precious essence born of the forest’s secret heart. Each drop of its aged, natural oud unfurls like molten gold, revealing the mystery of the revered black diamond — deep, elegant, and endlessly luminous.

Oud Ankaa is more than a fragrance; it is a cosmic rebirth captured in scent. An opulent overdose of genuine aged oud oils transforms it into a luminous symbol of rebirth — the spark of a star set in fragrant amber. 

Radiant. Daring. Eternal. A fragrant constellation where the sacred oud burns bright, illuminating the dark with its celestial fire.

VINCENT MICOTTI´S UNIQUE TAKE ON OUD

Oud, with its long history of cultural influence inspired many for more than thousand years. For Vincent Micotti, delving into the true origin of Oud, and its distinctive context played in the social and cultural environment, is a key factor in creating a Oud perfume.

In the past years, Vincent Micotti has released five perfumes which took the most precious Oud oil as the main character: Oud Ankaa, Théros, Théros Elixir, Point Mort and Night of GPMH. They all have its unique identity and challenge the status quo in today's Oud world.

The broad olfactory spectrum exhibited in these perfumes identify its distinctive characters and its artistic value. "I am not a Oud dealer, I use Oud just as using any other raw ingredients, selecting only the best suitable ones for a specific concept I have in mind. If people want to own Oud as "Oud", my perfumes are not for them. There are large markets out there dealing all kinds of Oud, but my context is not at all the same," says Vincent Micotti. "For the Théros Elixir, we even made our own extraction with a historic piece of Kyara oud, that was a crazy one-off project. And unsurprisingly, all kinds of Kyara Oud appeared on the market since then."

As beautiful as any other creations from nature, Oud deserves an artistic interpretation of another kind.
