Oud Shamash is warm, oriental and sensual, for him and her.
“A spiritual journey into the heart of the Far East,” is how The Different Company describes Oud Shamash.
Like its sister Oud For Love, Oud Shamash contains real oudh oil from Laos, but the execution is quite different. Oud Shamash has even more supple leather, and drier due to cedar, amber, musk and patchouli in the base.

An English name for a French company, it is clear that The Different Company strives for unconventionality. This is haute perfumery: not compromising and using high-quality materials yet remaining very comfortable and fresh. The Different Company was founded in 2000 by designer Thierry De Baschmakoff and perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena. In 2004, Celine Ellena followed in the footsteps of her father, as the perfumer-creator of The Different Company, who left to become the in-house perfumer at Hermès. Big footsteps to fill, one could argue, but Céline was fit for the challenge and left her signature on the brand. Her second creation, Sel de Vetiver, immediately received a 5 star rating by Chandler Burr, scent critic of The New York Times Magazine.
Amber
The amber fragrance family contains warm, spicy and often sensual perfume notes. Classic amber fragrances are built around an amber accord, often consisting of patchouli, benzoin, labdanum, vanilla and musk. Also, amber can refer to natural ambergris or synthetic amber, such as Ambrox or Ambroxan.
Jean-Claude Ellena
"Perfumery as any art needs meaning, have to make sense, perfumes have to tell stories. Stories make us hope, make us dream." - Jean-Claude Ellena Over the years Jean-Claude Ellena has numerous leading perfumes to his credit, including First for Cleef & Arpels, Terre d'Hermès (2006) for Hermès and the beautiful Bois d'Iris (2000) for The Different Company. Jean-Claude Ellena is especially loved and known for his entirely unique elegant style of sober and minimalist formulations. Achieving more with less ingredients, here we recognize his craftsmanship!
