A beloved fragrance, reimagined with greater depth, richness and intensity. Discover Oud Immortelle, the latest creation from Greek niche perfume house Manos Gerakinis, now at Parfum Le Dance.

Some fragrances become signatures. Others evolve into something even more extraordinary.

With the introduction of Oud Immortelle, Greek perfumer and brand founder Manos Gerakinis revisits one of his house's most celebrated creations, Immortelle, originally launched in 2017.

The original Immortelle has long been admired for its elegant, sophisticated gourmand character. Now, almost a decade later, Manos Gerakinis takes that familiar olfactory signature into deeper, more opulent territory, introducing precious oud, rich spices and earthy woods while preserving the distinctive personality of the original.

The result is Oud Immortelle: a sumptuous composition that celebrates both the beauty of Greek perfumery and the art of creating contrast.

The Inspiration: A Greek Flower with an Extraordinary Scent

At the heart of Oud Immortelle lies one of perfumery's most fascinating ingredients: immortelle, also known as the everlasting flower.

Thriving in sun-drenched Mediterranean landscapes, immortelle has been treasured in Greece for centuries. Its golden flowers possess a remarkably complex aromatic profile, combining warm honeyed sweetness with nuances of tea, dried hay and tobacco.

Unlike conventional floral ingredients, immortelle offers something distinctly different. It can feel sweet yet dry, comforting yet mysterious, and gourmand without relying on traditional dessert-like accords.

This complexity is precisely what makes immortelle such an intriguing centrepiece for a fragrance.

In Oud Immortelle, these multifaceted qualities are amplified through an elaborate composition of spices, gourmand notes and precious woods.

A Fragrance Built Around Contrast

The Opening: Bright Citrus and Warm Spices

Oud Immortelle opens with the sparkling freshness of bergamot, immediately contrasted by the aromatic warmth of cardamom and nutmeg.

This vibrant introduction brings energy and brightness to a fragrance that will gradually reveal a much darker, richer character.

The interplay between citrus and spice sets the stage for the complex gourmand heart.

The Heart: Immortelle Meets Coffee, Whisky and Brown Sugar

The heart is where Oud Immortelle reveals its most distinctive personality.

The golden, honeyed facets of immortelle blend with the roasted richness of Arabica coffee, the caramel-like warmth of brown sugar and the boozy sophistication of whisky.

Rather than creating a straightforward sweet gourmand, these ingredients work together to build layers of warmth, texture and complexity.

The naturally hay-like and tobacco-like nuances of immortelle provide an intriguing contrast to the more indulgent elements, giving the composition a refined, almost atmospheric quality.

It is gourmand perfumery with depth, character and an unmistakable sense of sophistication.

The Base: A Luxurious Fusion of Oud and Woods

As the fragrance develops, its deeper character emerges.

Laotian and Indian oud form the foundation, bringing richness and intensity to the composition.

Patchouli introduces an earthy dimension, while sandalwood contributes creamy warmth. Vetiver adds a dry, woody elegance, complemented by the resinous depth of Gurjun balsam.

Saffron further enhances the fragrance's warm, spicy character, connecting the gourmand heart with the darker woody base.

Together, these ingredients create a richly layered composition that feels both opulent and beautifully balanced.

From Immortelle to Oud Immortelle: An Evolution, Not a Reinvention

What makes Oud Immortelle particularly interesting is its relationship with the original fragrance.

Rather than abandoning the character that made Immortelle so popular, Manos Gerakinis has chosen to explore its full potential.

The familiar honeyed, tobacco-like and gourmand facets remain central to the composition, but they are now surrounded by a more intense framework of oud, spices and woods.

Where the original Immortelle celebrates refined gourmand elegance, Oud Immortelle explores a richer, darker and more expansive interpretation of the same olfactory identity.

It is a natural evolution for those who already appreciate Immortelle, while offering a new experience for fragrance lovers drawn to complex woody gourmands.

Opulence Beyond Special Occasions

Although Oud Immortelle possesses the richness and complexity often associated with evening fragrances or special occasions, its creator has a different philosophy.

Manos Gerakinis envisioned a fragrance that brings a sense of occasion to everyday life.

Expressive, indulgent and full of personality, Oud Immortelle is designed to be enjoyed rather than reserved.

It reflects the idea that luxury in perfumery should not necessarily be limited to particular moments. Sometimes, the fragrance itself can make an ordinary day feel extraordinary.
