Every once in a while, a fragrance comes along that completely rewrites the rules of what a scent can be.
Most people expect oud to be dark, heavy, and intensely serious—something reserved purely for cold nights or black-tie affairs. And most people expect tropical fruit scents to be light, sweet, and simple.
When we developed MYSTIK, we wanted to smash those two worlds together. We set out to create a fragrance that feels like stepping out of a humid, wild forest directly into a vibrant burst of tropical sunlight. It is bold, dynamic, and unapologetically distinct.
If you’ve been searching for a scent that commands attention without saying a word, this is the story behind MYSTIK.
The Inspiration: Why We Created MYSTIK
The idea for MYSTIK started with a simple question: what happens when you take the deepest, most grounding element in perfumery and pair it with something wildly luminous?
We didn't want to create just another dark wood fragrance, nor did we want a fruity perfume that vanished after an hour. We wanted tension—a push-and-pull between tart, juicy energy and rich, lingering warmth.
MYSTIK was born out of a desire for contrast. It captures that precise moment when the sun starts setting over a dense forest canopy—the air is still hot, the earth is deep and woody, and a sudden breeze brings the mouth-watering aroma of fresh, ripe fruit. It’s an olfactory thrill ride designed for those who wear fragrance as a personal statement, not a hide-behind.
The Olfactive Journey: Inside the Curation
MYSTIK evolves on your skin over hours, moving seamlessly from an electric opening to a deep, captivating dry-down.
The First Impression (Top Notes): The opening hits you immediately with a splash of tart, juicy passion fruit blended with a subtle touch of saffron and Turkish rose. It’s bright, vibrant, and instantly energizing.
The Core (Heart Notes): As the initial splash settles, the heart of the fragrance reveals its true depth. A prominent oud accord emerges, balanced by Indonesian patchouli and warm benzoin resin. This creates a dark, smoky texture that cradles the sweet fruitiness.
The Base Notes: Hours later, MYSTIK dries down into an addictive, skin-hugging warmth. Notes of supple leather, rich vanilla, and warm amber woods linger on your clothes and skin, leaving an unmistakable trail (sillage) wherever you walk.
When & Where to Wear?
- Best Seasons: Autumn, Winter, and Cool Spring evenings. The deep leather and oud base hold up effortlessly in cold air, while the passion fruit cuts through the chill.
- The Occasion: Evening events, high-profile dinners, night outs, or any setting where you want to leave a memorable impression.
- How to Wear It: MYSTIK is an intense creation. A couple of sprays on your pulse points (wrists and base of the neck) are more than enough. Let the warmth of your skin radiate the scent—do not rub your wrists together, as that breaks down the delicate top notes before they can bloom.
