Pure Diamond
Pure Diamond opens with bergamot and pink pepper, and the name sets up what follows: a composition built on clarity rather than complexity. Rose and iris arrive in the heart with a cleanness that is the fragrance's defining quality, each material present without competing with the other, the two florals creating a space between themselves where the air itself is part of the composition. Sandalwood and ambergris in the base give the clean heart a warmth that develops without changing the fragrance's essential transparent quality.
Why We Carry This
Pure Diamond demonstrates that The House of Oud can build a composition around clarity and restraint rather than oud's inherent density. The rose-iris combination at this quality level, supported by ambergris and sandalwood, is immaculately constructed. A different register from the house's more typical releases and worth having for that reason.
