The House of Guerlain shapes the most aromatic raw materials to create daring fragrances with talent and passion.<br><br>With Oud Nude, oud wood reveals its most luminous facets. Renowned for its darkness and sophistication, oud wood now lays itself bare upon contact with white almond. At the heart, a beguiling raspberry accord heightens the blond wood tones of luxurious Atlas cedar. The bark of this incredibly tender, naked wood is delicately embraced by a voluptuous rose. Oud is illuminated and unveiled through the gentle touch of creamy sandalwood, then exalted by Madagascan vanilla tincture. Laid bare, oud reveals its softness. &#147;If Oud Nude were a color, it would be the nude shade attributed to Constantin Br&#226;ncuși.&#148; Black by nature, oud is considered to be one of the most mysterious materials used in perfumery. The penetrating fragrance of this precious substance lies in its resin, secreted from the core of the wood. Taking inspiration from the Guerlain heritage Square Bottle (1870) and made by Pochet du Courval - historic glassmakers of the House - the L&#8217;Art &amp; La Matiere bottle is an exceptional object whose design exudes unisex sophistication steeped in modernity.
