High-quality, carefully sourced oud can initially have an unpleasant scent, which makes sense as it's a resin produced by the tree to combat infection. We describe it as having a scent reminiscent of a baby diaper (yes, we’re aware of this comparison). However, the magic of oud lies in allowing it to settle and evolve. After a few minutes, the fragrance transforms into something entirely different. This gradual development reveals the true beauty and complexity of oud.

Oud perfume can be suitable for everyday wear, but it depends on the specific blend and concentration. Lighter blends of oud, often combined with floral, citrus, or fresh notes, can make it more wearable for daily use. We recommend Lift Limitless, One & Only, Pure Satisfaction and Consistent Improver for everyday wear.

Oud perfume is often expensive due to the rarity and labor-intensive process of obtaining the oud resin. Only a small percentage of trees naturally produce the resin. The extraction process is time-consuming, and harvesting the resin requires skilled craftsmanship.

Yes, oud can be layered with other perfumes to create unique and personalized scents. Layer oud perfumes over lighter fragrances, such as citrus, floral, or fresh scents. This helps balance the intensity of oud and creates a harmonious blend.

Perfume oil is the essential component of any fragrance. It’s the specially crafted blend of scents that defines the fragrance’s character and profile. The higher the concentration of this oil, the more potent the fragrance will be and the longer it will last on the skin. Perfume oil gives each scent its richness and longevity.

Extrait de Parfum, also known as pure perfume, is the most concentrated form of fragrance available, typically containing between 20-40% perfume oil. This high concentration gives Extrait de Parfum an intense, long-lasting scent, where even a small amount goes a long way. In contrast, Eau de Parfum contains between 10-20%, while Eau de Toilette is generally below 10%.

At House of Nisé, we value the depth and long-lasting quality of our scents. That’s why we use a high concentration of perfume oil, ranging between 30% and 40%, in all of our fragrances. This ensures that each fragrance leaves a lasting impression.

The roll-on is a special addition, filled with 100% perfume oil of the fragrance, with just a touch of glycerin added to ensure a smooth, skin-friendly application. Applying fragrance with a roll-on allows you to experience the scent in a more personal and intimate way, as you roll it directly onto your skin. It offers a deeper, more concentrated version of the fragrance, making your scent ritual unique and intimate.

We have recently introduced our color-free fragrances, so our perfumes are typically transparent or naturally tinted by the natural color of the pure perfume oil. This approach keeps our fragrances clean and simple, focusing solely on the quality and purity of the scent.
