Om Ah Uhm

This fragrance is an oriental fougere that balances a fresh, spicy opening of bergamot and coriander with a deep, resinous floral heart. You will notice tuberose, damask rose, and lavender, anchored by a warm base of frankincense and Atlas cedar, making it a versatile choice for those who enjoy woody and floral combinations.

Om Ah Uhm is truly unisex. While the floral heart notes like lily and tuberose are often found in feminine scents, the aromatic fougere structure, bolstered by mahogany and coriander, provides a grounded, woody backbone that fits anyone comfortably. It wears differently depending on individual skin chemistry, often pulling more aromatic or more floral.

Most wearers report long-lasting performance, typically staying noticeable for 7 to 9 hours. The frankincense and white musk base creates a steady longevity that lingers through a full workday. If you apply it to clothing or hair, you can often detect the woody cedar notes well into the evening, even in cooler weather.

This composition excels in the fall and winter months. The resinous weight of the frankincense and the spicy coriander note cut through crisp, cold air without becoming cloying. While you can wear it in spring, it feels most at home when the temperature dips and you want something warm and slightly sophisticated.

Yes, it works well in professional settings. The projection is generally moderate, sitting close enough to the skin to avoid overwhelming colleagues. Its blend of lavender and cedar creates a clean, calm aura that feels appropriately polished for meetings, provided you stick to a light application of two or three sprays.

The opening is sharp and vibrant, led by bergamot and orange blossom. After about 30 minutes, it settles into a complex floral heart dominated by tuberose and damask rose. By the dry-down, which takes a few hours, the resins like frankincense and woods like mahogany take over, leaving a warm, slightly animalic musk on the skin.

Given the presence of tuberose and frankincense, which can be polarizing, it is better to sample first. Tuberose can sometimes take on a metallic or slightly stinky edge depending on your skin, so testing how it settles over a full day is recommended before committing to a full bottle.

It is an excellent choice for dinners or evening gatherings. The blend of mahogany and Atlas cedar gives it a grounded, evening-appropriate depth that feels more formal than a simple citrus scent. It adds a layer of mystery without being too loud, making it perfect for nights when you want to feel put-together.

Because it already has a complex structure, it is best worn on its own to appreciate its development. If you must layer, it pairs well with simple, linear sandalwood or vanilla scents to soften the sharp coriander and floral edges, providing a creamy contrast to the inherent spicy woodiness of this composition.

In high humidity, the tuberose and lily notes can become quite prominent and potentially stifling. If you live in a tropical or humid climate, use it sparingly. The base of frankincense performs best in temperate, dry conditions where the resins can develop fully rather than getting lost in the moisture.
