Why We Carry This

Mystic Experience is Initio's most committed spiritual-oud composition. The saffron-incense-leather construction gives it a ceremonial weight that most oud fragrances at this price treat as aspiration rather than delivery. The Initio bottle is as committed as the formula.

Character

Accords: Sweet, Vanilla, Oud, Warm Spicy, Amber, Smoky

Perfumer: Hamid Merati-Kashani

Launched: 2015

Saffron opens dense and slightly metallic, cardamom warming it before pink pepper adds its dry heat. Incense arrives in the heart alongside oud, the two materials reinforcing each other into something smoky and meditative. Rose gives the center a brief warmth that the incense slowly absorbs. Leather and amber in the base are persistent and heavy, sandalwood smoothing the finish into a long, ceremonial drydown.
