Sillage places oud at the center, yet deliberately interprets this precious wood note differently than many classic oud fragrances. Rather than overpowering the other components, the oud weaves through the entire composition like a delicate ribbon.
Saffron and violet lend the fragrance a dry, spicy, yet soft side. Frankincense adds a resinous depth, while jasmine provides a floral accent. Particularly interesting is the raspberry, which introduces a distinctively fruity and slightly sweet facet amidst the darker notes.
Suede reinforces the soft leather character. Benzoin, musk, amber, and vanilla imbue the fragrance with warmth and create a rounded background.
Sillage thus combines oud, leather, and incense with fruitiness and sweetness. It is precisely this interplay that makes it more accessible than many uncompromisingly dry oud compositions, without stripping it of its intense and oriental impact.
