Italian brand Trussardi will launch Amber Oud, a new unisex woody chypre fragrance.
The sound of the dunes and the silence of the old cities. The gold of the sand bathed in sunlight at dusk and dawn. All this can be found in Amber Oud, the most luxurious and evocative fragrance by Trussardi Parfums. In this intense eau de parfum, the young "nose" Amandine Clerc-Marie blended the two rarest and most expensive ingredients of haute perfumery: amber and oud. Since time immemorial, they have been known for their ancestral, curative powers. They appear in Gulistan by Saadi (a Persian epic poem from 1258), in One Thousand and One Nights, and in the masterpiece of Mohamed Choukri, Le Pain nu, translated in English by Paul Bowles and in French by Tahar Ben Jallun. Oud is a resin of the Jinko, a tree risking extinction from the Aquilaria species.
Amber, which is also a resin, has been given several poetic names such as "a drop of the sun", "the soul of the tiger", "petrified light", and "solid honey". The ancient Greeks called it "elektron" and it is, in fact, a powerful electric conductor.
The mythical Scheherazade's fragrance is made of musk, amber, and Jinko wood.
Additional notes include lemon, geranium, pink pepper, elemi, incense, benzoin, oud, vetiver, patchouli and leather.
Trussardi Amber Oud will be available in 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

This sounds right up my alley but sadly wouldn’t be too wearable most of the year here. I wouldn’t mind a sample or small decant though. Oh yeah, I’m on a No Buy for the rest of the year. I keep forgetting… ????
Oh yeah, THAT — hard to keep up, good luck!
I never knew that amber is an electric conductor. An educational marketing perfume description…whatever next. I like the sound of this, and i like the flask, too.
I never knew either, and pretty sure I will forget it promptly.
I started wearing the original Trussardi Uomo over 25 years ago. This might be the “anniversary gift” I buy myself.
