Oud de Chypre

Sunlit citrus drifts over damp moss and smoldering wood, where old stone still holds the warmth of the day.

There is an island feeling here, of Mediterranean light falling on mossy walls, citrus trees heavy with fruit, and somewhere close, incense curling into the dusk. Bright bergamot and a soft blush of apricot give way to roses and jasmine in full bloom, their sweetness threaded through with the smoke and resin of aged agarwood. Beneath the flowers, oakmoss and patchouli keep everything grounded and earthy, while sandalwood, vanilla, and tonka bring a rounded, resinous warmth. A breath of amber and something faintly animal glows underneath, like embers settling after nightfall. The effect is refined but never tame, green and mossy one moment, dark and woody the next.

Amer Perfumes is a small independent house. Amer Alradhi founded it and creates every release, sourcing the ingredients from around the world, and the work sits between Arabian fragrance heritage and modern olfactory artistry. The materials run to Taif rose, Thai agarwood, Indian and Indonesian sandalwood, Azerbaijani and Bulgarian rose, and an aged South Thailand agarwood oil.

Alradhi calls each new release a very personal project, and one of them took nearly two years to finish, using many precious and expensive natural materials including flowers, agarwood and sandalwood. The work is story-driven, built on craftsmanship, authenticity and refined blending, and every release carries a strong identity and close attention to detail. Everything is crafted with care from high-quality ingredients, and the line goes from bright citrus florals to heavy aged oud.
