Stallion SoulWoody Floral Eau de Parfum

Stallion Soul by OJAR is a woody amber floral eau de parfum, unisex, created by Michel Girard. Its base features five ingredients — the most complex of the house's twelve eaux de parfum.

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 grade of frankincense, harvested in the mountains of Dhofar. The founder summarizes her vision in one sentence: "OJAR is a fusion of East and West — I have brought together the best expertise from each region." The catalog is organized into six collections by ingredient, 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, frankincense, and rose

Rose opens the fragrance rather than forming its heart: full and honeyed, it is the Omani rose from Jebel Akhdar, one of the house's six founding ingredients. Pink pepper gives it a sparkling fruitiness, while frankincense establishes the house's signature dry resin from the very first minute.

A heart of leather, jasmine, and violet

Leather arrives in the middle of the fragrance's evolution, not at the end: it is the ingredient that gives the fragrance its character, a tanned and dry skin. Violet contrasts it with its powdery, slightly metallic greenness, while jasmine adds a full whiteness. The contrast between the flower and the skin is the heart of the fragrance.

A base of musk, vanilla, patchouli, oud, and cypriol

Five ingredients, whereas the house's other fragrances feature three or four. Musk creates the skin effect, vanilla adds a sweetness that softens the leather, patchouli its earthiness, oud its woody depth, and cypriol — the Indian root — its dry smoke. It is the densest finish in the catalog.

The house's signature

The fragrance is the only one of the house's twelve eaux de parfum created by Michel Girard, and it is distinguished by its construction: a dense, layered five-ingredient base, rather than the house's usual trio. The house builds it around a rare, leathery oud, and the name evokes the Arabian horse — hence the leather placed in the heart, and the rose featured in the opening rather than as an accompaniment.

For whom, and for what occasions?

For those who love leathery roses and are looking for a full fragrance that will not fade throughout the day. It is an autumn and winter fragrance, best suited for the evening, with very long-lasting wear and a pronounced sillage. Stallion Soul by OJAR is for those who want a distinct presence.
