La Closerie des Parfums Exploration Oud – Oud married to rare spices

La Closerie Exploration Oud: oud married to rare spices

The oriental line of the maison

Exploration Oud is the oriental line of La Closerie des Parfums, maison founded in 2019. A line that pairs the precious matter of oud — agarwood resin worked since antiquity — with spices chosen for their cultural alchemy with the central note: cinnamon, saffron, cardamom, sandalwood, Timur pepper. A contemporary reading that revisits the great oriental tradition with the simplicity assumed by the maison.

The Oud creations

The Exploration Oud brings together Oud Cannelle, Oud Safran, Oud Cardamome, Oud Santal and Oud Poivre — five compositions that demonstrate the writing principle of the maison: precious oud highlighted by a precise spice.

A simplified reading of oud

Where the prestige Middle Eastern oud often takes the form of dense and multi-layered compositions, La Closerie cultivates a clear and modern oud reading — the precious wood and a precise spice, nothing more. A radical proposition that allows you to discover oud in an accessible way without sacrificing quality. An ideal entry into the prestige oud world.

Who is Exploration Oud for, and when to wear it?

Exploration Oud speaks to lovers of accessible niche orientals, who seek the precious matter without the complexity of large oriental compositions. Creations sit in the oriental, woody and ambery families, and shine particularly in autumn and winter. If you enjoy Exploration Oud, you will also want to explore Xerjoff Oud Stars, the Houbigant Orientale Collection and the Nejma Heritage Collection — three other oriental signatures at Soleil d'Or.
