About

Languid kicks off with a potent blast of warm, earthy spices - think cumin, nutmeg, and cardamom, which quickly morph into a dark, leathery oud. The heart introduces a fleeting hint of saffron and a dry, almost green rose, but the dominant narrative remains a heavy, authentic oud wrapped in intense spice. The dry down mellows slightly into a woody, animalic whisper, leaving behind a complex, non-sweet, and unashamedly Middle Eastern character.
