Ever LitMarine Woody Extrait de Parfum

Ever Lit by OJAR is a fresh marine woody unisex perfume extract, created by Gaël Montero. Its base rests on Akigalawood, a material obtained through the biotransformation of patchouli essence.

A house born from Dhofar frankincense

OJAR is an Omani house founded by Sheikha Hind Bahwan. The name comes from HOJARI, the world's most renowned quality of frankincense, harvested in the mountains of Dhofar. The founder summarizes her project in one sentence: "OJAR is a fusion of East and West — I have brought together the best know-how from each region." The catalog is organized into six collections by material, three of which come from Oman — Dhofar frankincense, Jebel Akhdar rose, and Rustaq honey — complemented by sandalwood, musk, and oud. The formulas are entrusted to perfumers from around the world: Dalia Izem, Gaël Montero, Jordi Fernández, Michel Girard, Nanako Ogi.

An opening of pink pepper, apple, and cypress

Pink pepper gives its sparkling resinousness, apple a crisp and watery fruitiness, very clear, cypress its green and cold resin, that of the tree standing by the water. The house summarizes this departure by the mineral sparkle of green apple and sea foam.

A heart of sandalwood, marine notes, and cistus

Sandalwood — one of the house's six founding materials — brings the creaminess that thickens the whole. The marine notes establish the iodized, saline, and mineral. And cistus — labdanum, harvested from the sticky leaves of the Mediterranean shrub — lays an amber and slightly leathery resin under the salt. Only three materials, but from three opposing registers.

A base of Akigalawood, benzoin, and frankincense

Akigalawood is a contemporary material: it is obtained by making an enzyme work on patchouli essence, which gives a peppery, dry, and very tenacious wood, without the earthiness of the original patchouli. Benzoin brings a sweet and vanilla resin, frankincense the house's dry gum — smoky, it says, against the creaminess of sandalwood.

The house's gesture

A house built on the resins of Dhofar could have stuck to traditional materials. Ever Lit does exactly the opposite: it is the only marine fragrance of the fifteen references we distribute, and its base uses a material from the laboratory rather than the harvest. Dhofar frankincense is still there, but this time it serves as a counterpoint to a wood obtained through biotechnology.

For whom, for what occasions?

For those who love woody marine fragrances and are looking for a freshness that lasts, which the family rarely offers. It is a spring and summer fragrance, wearable day or night, with the longevity of an extract and a clean sillage. Ever Lit OJAR will appeal to those who want freshness without seeing it disappear.
