'' Embrace yourself in the pleasure of anticipation with The House of Oud Just Before Eau de Parfum, a surprising unisex fragrance that dances through citrus, spice, balsalms & wood.''
- Caitlin, Escentual Beauty Team. Why you'll love Just Before: Contemporary gourmand fragrance. Long-lasting unisex Eau de Parfum. Boasts a lively start, a sensual heart & a warm, cosy base. Held in an upside down bottle that looks like fiery lava. What Does Just Before Smell Like? Inspired by the excited stretch of anticipation, Just Before is a true journey that is sure to excite & surprise you. It starts with a bright & spicy opening
- that reminds us of aniseed
- as the warm spice of saffron collides with the zest of lemon & the tang of bergamot. The embracing heart provides a warmer, more sultry feel as sensual myrrh brings a slightly sweet, balsamic edge, uplifted by the floral tones of ylang-ylang & the fresh woodiness of Palo Santo. The deeply rich base juxtaposes the bright start as amber & benzoin melt together with the creamy sweetness of vanilla & the softness of milky sandalwood, resulting in a passionate & addictive fragrance. Top notes are Bergamot, Lemon, Saffron. Heart notes are Myrrh, Palo Santo, Ylang-Ylang. Base notes are Amber, Benzoin, Sandalwood, Vanilla. Why it's Escentual: One of the things we love most about Just Before is that you truly experience each layer of the fragrance pyramid; the warm citrus start, the spiced woody middle & the radiant cosy base. The scent is inspired by the mist of expectation & excitement as one thought chases another, & we get the impression of each layer chasing the next as it dances on the skin. It's unique, surprising & a real journey; we think anyone who loves sweet-spicy-warm scents will be head over heels for Just Before! If you're a fan of The House of Oud, then you'll instantly recognise the iconic, luxurious bottle; it's like a ball of fire sat atop a golden throne. Each one is unique, which is an ode to the fine Italian craftsmanship & detail that lay at the heart of this elusive fragrance house. The Best Way To Use It: Spray the Eau de Parfum onto your pulse points: namely, the neck & wrists.
