Niche fragrance brand Acqua di Parma has unveiled Oud & Spice, the newest addition to the Signatures of the Sun Collection. It will be launched in global travel retail in September.

Oud & Spice was formulated with a rare agarwood extract, sourced from the resin of Aquilaria trees, which is native to Laos. The highly sought-after ingredient differentiates the fragrance from classic oud scents because of its roundness.

Oud & Spice opens with bergamot, rose and raspberry top notes, combined with a spicy heart of pink pepper, cloves, cinnamon, oud and agarwood. It closes with earthy base notes of patchouli and cistus labdanum.

The Oud & Spice flaçon features a black and gold colour palette; and is available in 20ml, 200ml and 180 ml formats. As with the rest of the Signatures of Sun Collection, Oud & Spice also comes with a detachable recyclable dispenser.

Oud & Spice was developed around a rare type of Agarwood, which can only be sourced from Aquilaria Trees in Laos. The precious wood gives the scent a rounder finish as compared to classic oud fragrances.

Reflecting the sleek hues of the bottle, Oud & Spice comes in the brand’s sophisticated Signatures of Sun packaging. It features a soft black label and a gold embossed logo, which illuminates Acqua di Parma’s signature cylindrical case.

The complete Signatures of the Sun Collection comprises the Oud, Leather, Ambra, Quercia, Sandalo, Vaniglia, Yuzu, Camelia, Osmanthus, and Sakura fragrances. Each scent in the line shines the light one rare ingredient, reinterpreted with the sunny citrus signature of Acqua di Parma Colonia, the brand’s hero line.

As reported, Acqua di Parma recently partnered with The Shilla Duty Free to unveil its limited-edition Blu Mediterraneo line and car diffuser range. To celebrate the launch, The Shilla Duty Free and Acqua di Parma hosted an exclusive event on 20 May at The Shilla Seoul’s Yeong Bin Gwan space. The event was launched in partnership with Porsche and was held in the hotel’s famous hanok-style (a traditional Korean house) back garden.
