Henry Jacques presents Oudh Supreme, an exquisite expression of one of perfumes most treasured ingredients. Part of the Les Classiques collection – the scents at the heart of the Maison – the fragrance embodies over fifty years of savoir-faire, bringing together rare materials and meticulous craftsmanship in an iconic creation that defines the very essence of haute parfumerie.
In the Middle East, oud is more than a fragrance, it is a symbol of cultural identity. A companion for life’s most meaningful moments, its presence has long defined the region’s rich fragrance heritage, adorning both men and women for thousands of years. Oudh Supreme reimagines the celebrated raw material with the unmistakable signature of Henry Jacques.
For over half a century, Henry Jacques has sourced its oud directly from trusted producers in Laos, Cambodia and Thailand, selecting only the most resin-rich, oil-infused heartwood. Distilled slowly over a wood fire and aged in the laboratory according to a unique maceration process – 50% new harvest blended with 50% of the previous year’s – each edition of Henry Jacques’ Cuvée Dehen el Oudh carries the depth and memory of time itself. At its heart lie leather nuances, a rounded, almost cacao-like warmth, and delicate hints of candied fruits.
Oudh Supreme evokes a rare and intimate emotion: the nostalgia of a time never lived, yet somehow deeply remembered. It carries the warmth of distant rituals, the quiet strength of ancient woods and the comforting depth of something both powerful and eternal. It is not merely worn – it is experienced, slowly unfolding on the skin. Surprising at first, it reveals sophisticated and delicate facets. It is a connoisseur’s raw material, to be approached slowly, to be understood over time.
The fragrance opens with the luminous spice of saffron, softened by the powdery elegance of iris and the subtle freshness of geranium, creating a refined yet intriguing first impression. Then emerges the Cuvée Dehen el Oudh, enriched by balsam and mimosa. The composition becomes deeper and more textured; resinous, slightly leathery, warm and enveloping. Later, amber and vanilla bring a rounded sensuality, while cedarwood anchors the fragrance with structure and quiet strength, leaving a lasting, noble trail.
