Oud Laqué by Les Bains Guerbois starts with a burst of almost-astringent cardamom and geranium that settles into a long-wearing and sultry impression of sweet spiced oud, dried fruits, woods and leather. Most definitely worth the wait.
From Les Bains Guerbois
Lending scent to materials, a color to vowels, entangling emotions. Stirring the senses. A game of mirrors. Veined, gleaming, warm, exotic, precious. At Les Bains Paris, our silhouettes are reflected in the lavishly lacquered wood. Spaces within a mythical place. A trail of perfume. Spiritual potency. Radiant evanescence. Dark sensuality. Cardamom, Dried fruits, Geranium, natural leather, Clove, gurjum, Benzoin. Synesthesia.
Les Bains Guerbois on the Formes et Matières Collection
The Formes et Matières Collection is a feast of shapes, patterns, and materials seen and felt at 7 rue du Bourg l’Abbé in Paris’ 3rd arrondissement. Three fragrances — Raku, Damier and Oud Lacque — exemplify the inimitable personality of this historic place since 1885. They hypnotize, stimulate, inspire, invigorate, and soothe; their evocative poetry rouses revery, contentment, well-being, excitement, joy, and a thousand other emotions.
