Cypress Shade
The House of Oud
The shade cast by the boughs of a cypress tree brings a moment of relief and refreshes the soul. The symbol of eternity and of feminine beauty lends itself to painting the purest of bonds between man and woman, be that woman a daughter, a companion or a friend.
A surprising watercolour tones down the forces of the most luxuriant nature with the delicacy of infinity, gilded and shining bright. The time of confidences passes by in nature’s embrace, walking slowly in the shade of a row of green cypresses. Cypress Shade is the refuge of an eternal bond.

The House of Oud is the story of a friendship between an Italian master perfumer and an oud aficionado from Jakarta, a friendship born of a shared passion for art, perfume and travel along with a deep appreciation of beauty.
The House of Oud uses only the highest quality raw materials and the oud, which is found in every fragrance in the collection, is sourced from across the world. Oud never dominates but is used to create a bridge between the other ingredients, resulting in richly nuanced and completely addictive collections.
Designed to fit in the palm of the hand, the fragrance bottle is reminiscent of a smooth stone. The unique lacquering technique means that no two bottles are the same and the top-down design allows the beauty of these highly individual fragrances to be fully appreciated..
