A tribute to the perfumer’s roots, Oued 48 is an ode to the city of perfumer’s ancestors — Oued Rhiou in Algeria’s territory 48 — and to the soul of the Algerian people. Almond, sweetly nutty, recalls the kalb el louz pastries of his aunts. Neroli and orange blossom conjures the orange trees of his father’s garden, while the vanilla base, warm and comforting, embodies the generosity of Algeria. Musk al ghazal, a musk grain infusion in sandalwood oil that recreates the scent of deer musk, evokes the village elders, their clothing permeated with the rich aroma. Oued 48 is a personal fragrance, carrying memory, tradition and light.
