Oesel harkens back to a time when perfume meant rich floral blends full of character, composed of only the finest raw materials. Instead of the insipid mix of indeterminate flowers so many lesser fragrances present, Oesel is a composition of definite personality and grace. Oesel's centerpiece is the aromatic acacia, a relative of the mimosa. Acacia is thought to represent purity and endurance of the soul, and in some cultures is even burned to spurn demons and give pleasure to the gods.
Intoxicating orange flowers and tart petitgrain introduce Oesel, but soon they give way to a sensual harmony of Bulgarian rose and the finest jasmine, jasmin sambac. Narcotic, green tobacco flower wraps these dreamy florals. As beautiful as these aromatic flowers are, they only pay court to the focus of Oesel’s beauty, the creamy, vanillic acacia flower. The acacia's velvety texture just barely hinting at finely milled powder is a rarity in perfumery today. Resting on a languorous bed of cedar, sandalwood, and a hint of patchouli for intimacy, its scent stands apart from anything else we know. Oesel is truly a fragrance meant for the ages.
