Behind the Creation of JAZ OUD MAJESTÉ N°7

There is a moment in every jazz night when the lights lower, the air softens, and the music pours through the room like warm velvet. That moment—the quiet intimacy between sound and space—inspired the creation of JAZ OUD MAJESTÉ N°7, a fragrance shaped by emotion, memory, and the deep glow of late-night melodies. What began as a feeling gradually evolved into a formula; what started as a spark of inspiration became a scent designed to envelop, comfort, and captivate.
The journey began not in the lab, but in the atmosphere of jazz itself: the gentle rise of brass notes, the confident rhythm of improvisation, the warmth of a performance shared with a small, attentive room. I wanted to capture that experience in fragrance form. The goal was not simply to recreate the scent of a jazz night, but to translate the soul of it—the elegance, the intimacy, the richness—into something wearable.

Once the idea took shape, the work moved into the lab, where creativity meets precision. Here, every drop matters. I began with the opening notes—bright touches of bergamot, lavender, lemon, pineapple, tuberose, and nectarine. In perfumery, the top notes are the introduction, the first impression. I crafted them to reflect the uplifting energy of the first chords of a jazz performance: confident, smooth, and immediately inviting.
The heart of the fragrance required even greater balance. Jasmine, rose, and orange blossom were chosen for their elegant floral presence, while pink pepper and cardamom added movement, warmth, and subtle rhythm. In the lab, these ingredients came together like musicians who instinctively understand one another, each contributing their voice without overpowering the others. This harmony is the emotional core of the fragrance, echoing the intimate connection found in improvisational jazz.

Finally came the base—the deep, resonant finale of the composition. Oud, ambroxan, patchouli, tobacco, cashmeran, and vanilla were layered patiently, testing ratios again and again until the result felt as smooth and warm as a velvet-toned jazz chord. This stage of creation often demands the most time; the smallest adjustment can shift the entire mood. But once the base settled into its perfect balance, it carried a lingering richness that felt unmistakably right.
What makes JAZ OUD MAJESTÉ N°7 special is not only its depth and warmth, but its versatility. Designed to stand beautifully on its own, it also becomes a powerful layering companion, enhancing and transforming other fragrances with its elegant, cozy presence. Each wearing feels like a private performance—intimate, expressive, and deeply personal.
