We first gaed tae Dinnet Oakwuid in Aiberdeenshire - pairt o the Muir o Dinnet National Naitur Reserve, managed by NatureScot - while we were seekin inspiration for a new wuidsy perfume rootit in the North. The auld aiks an siller birks there are extraordinar; the hale forest haes a quate, resinous scent o bark an moss. It felt like staunin back in time.
That atmosphere becam the hert o Doric Oud. The fragrance opens wi the dry, green texture o tweed an birkwuid reek, follaed by saft auld leather an the depth o oud resin. It’s yirdie, smoky an lang-lastin, capturin the whisht an stillness o the Aiberdeenshire wids.
