When I learned that the celebrated house of Rochas had produced an oud perfume, it came as no real surprise… I mean, everyone out there has to have an oud in their perfume stable it would seem! I guess for this reason, I have become somewhat cynical every time a new oud is introduced by the designer brands… but this time, I was delighted and surprised with Rochas’ 2014 oud offering: Secret de Rochas Oud Mystere!

I must state from the outset that whilst the name of this scent has appended part of its title from the much-adored and long-discontinued Rochas Mystere that the similarities end there. Oud Mystere is precisely what it says on the box – a unique and alluring “oud-lite” that has both sensuous appeal and joyfulness in equal measures. Launched to appease the Middle Eastern market, Oud Mystere focuses on oud as a key note, however perhaps equally as important is a delightful saffron accord. These two components dance a quickstep through the heart of the perfume, whilst supporting notes of pink pepper, rose and gardenia twirl by the sidelines. Whilst it has a somewhat feminine lilt, Oud Mystere could comfortably be enjoyed by men – its woodsy / incense / patchouli foundation keeps it in the masculine spectrum too.

Presented in a beautiful column-like flacon, and decorated with beautiful gold motifs, Secret de Rochas Oud Mystere is a practically unheard-of gem that glitters with a flash of burnished gold. It seems that the Secret de Rochas that the brand has been hiding is that this oud in particular – is actually quite wonderful!

Luxurious, elegant and mysterious are the three best words that can describe the Misha Collection SS!& Runway presentation at New York Fashion Week this year. 

The collection featured fashion pieces that were inspired by the icons of Studio 54 and references to the seventies and eighties. We couldn't take our eyes off of the textures, custom lace, ostrich feather, silk Devoré and pony leather that were intertwined with the bold colors.
