Luban

Luban is a woody floral from WIDIAN, composed by Randa Hammami and released in 2023. Wood and flowers lead together, with a strong sweet side and spicy, musky and amber touches. It is worn by anyone.

Bergamot, pink pepper and cardamom open with a bright, lightly spiced freshness, and strawberry adds a soft, juicy sweetness. The heart is floral and rich: Bulgarian rose and Turkish rose oil bring a velvety, deep rose, with gardenia adding creaminess. In the base, agarwood, or oud, gives a dark, smoky woodiness, sandalwood a creamy smoothness, and vanilla and amber a warm, sweet finish.

Its rose-and-oud profile suits autumn and winter, evenings and special occasions where a rich, enveloping scent fits. It should appeal to someone who enjoys the classic Middle Eastern pairing of rose and oud, softened by fruit and vanilla rather than kept dry and austere.
