Description
Astrophil & Stella Nabati Oud (Extrait de Parfum) is the deeper, richer sibling of the Italian perfume house’s famous Nabati perfume, enriching the elegance of the original perfume with deeper, more animalic oud. The fragrance radiates warmth and intensity from the very first breath. Amber and bergamot are spiced with star anise, saffron and cardamom, while cinnamon and a hint of rum add a sensual, spicy sparkle. This fiery opening immediately sets the tone for a fragrance that is both powerful and refined.
At the heart of Nabati Oud is the central theme of leathery oud, which is commanding and almost palpable here, combined with the powdery sophistication of iris and the lush petals of Turkish rose. Davana lends a delicate sweetness, while the aquatic accord contrasts with the warm mood, evoking the mirage-like balance between water and sand of desert nights. The interaction is textural: smoky, resinous, and velvety—echoing the crackle of embers glowing under the endless sky.
The base notes of Astrophil & Stella Nabati Oud unfold with extraordinary depth. Rich oud is stretched by creamy sandalwood, earthy patchouli, and the earthy power of vetiver and cedarwood. Amber and vanilla provide a sensual counterpoint, softening the woody and smoky notes with a golden, lasting sweetness. The result is a contrasting perfume: bold yet elegant, powerful yet wearable, timeless yet modern.
Nabati Oud is not only a tribute to oud, but also a celebration of its multifaceted character, a sophisticated and captivating journey into the heart of the desert, where intensity and refinement meet in a long-lasting, unforgettable perfume.
