Ormonde Jayne Nawab of Oudh Intensivo Parfum

"Nawab of Oudh captures a potent, jewelled magic in a bottle! Usually, oudh and rose perfumes allow one dominant note to take center stage, but this hauntingly beautiful blend achieves an extraordinary synergy where no single ingredient stands out—releasing a pulsating, brooding richness that is purely luminous on the skin." — Escentual Beauty Team

Why It's Escentual:

Ormonde Jayne created Nawab of Oudh to pay homage to the historic province of Oudh and the opulent Nawabs who once ruled over it. By seamlessly harmonising soft oudh, rich amber, and regal rose, this fragrance achieves a seamless balance where every note interacts to create an entirely new, enigmatic aura.

Possessing an extraordinary, head-turning sillage, Nawab of Oudh commands fascination and respect wherever it goes. While it can be worn whenever you want to project an air of quiet power and sophistication, its rich spice, glowing ambergris, and soft oudh depths truly come into their own during cool evening air, grand celebrations, and major occasions after dark.

The Best Way To Use It:

We also recommend the following perfume tips:

• Target areas where the blood vessels are closest to the skin, allowing the fragrance to emanate. Common pulse points include the wrists, neck, behind the ears, and inner elbows.
• Resist the urge to rub your wrists together after applying perfume. This can break down the fragrance molecules and alter the scent.
• Hold the perfume bottle about 6–8 inches away from your skin when spraying. This ensures a more even distribution of the fragrance.
• Keep your perfume in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and temperature fluctuations. This helps maintain the integrity of the fragrance.
• If your perfume fades throughout the day, consider reapplying to pulse points or areas where your skin is warm.
