Gritti Noctem Arabs

Gritti Noctem Arabs – A Modern Vision of Oud Inspired by the Desert Night

Gritti Noctem Arabs is a fragrance that transports you to the wild, untamed beauty of the desert at night. Inspired by Luca Gritti's vision of a modern oud fragrance, Noctem Arabs captures the crisp freshness of the desert air, the mystique of its endless horizon, and the contrast between the warm sands and cool, blue-tinged sky. It’s a fragrance that tells a story of adventure, power, and beauty—a wild ride through the desert that crystallizes into a moment of breathtaking elegance.

Gritti Noctem Arabs is deeply inspired by the desert at night—a time when the heat of the day has faded and a cool, ethereal stillness takes over. Luca Gritti sought to create a modern interpretation of oud, one that captures the freshness of the desert night, where the dry air contrasts with the warmth of the sand and the deep, cool blue of the sky. This fragrance reflects the mysterious and powerful energy of the desert, with notes that evoke the vision of a woman—strong, beautiful, and captivating—emerging against the horizon. The scent of agarwood (oud) is enriched with tobacco leaves, cedar, and myrrh, creating a fragrance that feels both light and complex, fresh and intense.

Gritti Noctem Arabs offers a fragrance experience that is at once fresh and smoky, cool and warm. The opening is crisp and dry, with an almost transparent quality, evoking the cool desert air under the moonlight. The heart reveals the rich, earthy depth of oud, but in a lighter, more refined manner than traditional oud fragrances. The tobacco leaves and cedar lend a smoky, woodsy character, while the myrrh adds a resinous, slightly sweet undertone that gives the fragrance a mystical aura. Despite the presence of oud, Noctem Arabs never feels overwhelming—instead, it is a refined, almost ethereal composition that feels cool, fresh, and invigorating.

Gritti Noctem Arabs is a modern oud fragrance that beautifully captures the essence of the desert at night. With its crisp freshness, rich woodsy notes, and cool, transparent composition, it offers a refreshing take on traditional oud. This fragrance is perfect for the individual who seeks something bold and adventurous but with a light, airy twist—ideal for those who want a scent that speaks to strength, elegance, and the beauty of nature.
