D'Orsay Holy Berry Extrait
Description
Holy Berry plays juicy strawberry against a white oud accord: perfumer Tanguy Guesnet’s idea of two opposite worlds, colorful fruit and mystical depth, uniting in one composition. A creamy strawberry-milk-cardamom opening gives way to iris and jasmine, before the white oud accord takes over with vanilla, amberwood and sandalwood. Fans of gourmand-oud hybrids like Kayali’s Vanilla Rose Oud or Tom Ford’s Costa Azzurra will recognize the fruity-oud pairing, though this leans creamier and less smoky.
Scent Character
- Woody (sandalwood, amberwood): 23%
- Spicy (cardamom): 23%
- Floral (iris, jasmine): 22%
- Sweet (vanille): 11%
- Oud (white oud accord): 11%

Translation: a fruity chypre built on a genuine white oud accord. The strawberry-milk top is real, the “oud” is a deliberate accord rather than a stray label.

FAQ
Is Holy Berry for men or women?
Unisex. Built to be shared, per D’Orsay’s collection concept.
Is the oud real agarwood?
It’s a composed “white oud” accord rather than raw agarwood: a smoother, creamier take on the oud character.
How sweet is it really?
The strawberry-milk opening is genuinely juicy, but it settles into iris, jasmine and a woody-oud base rather than staying candy-sweet throughout.
How long does it last?
Very long: 10+ hours with strong projection.
