About This Perfume
Aurum by Moresque is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for women and men. Aurum was launched in 2016. The nose behind this fragrance is Andrea (Thero) Casotti. Top note is Saffron; middle notes are Balsam Fir, Styrax and Myrrh; base notes are Patchouli, Agarwood (Oud) and Guaiac Wood. “AURUM is a bright fragrance that describes the first rays of the sun, the light at dawn and those precious minutes of quietness. The waves make peace with the clear morning light and sway in a steady rhythm, drawing lines on the surface of the sea. The composition of AURUM speaks of serenity which is expressed by an elegant and distinguishing prelude of Saffron. Styrax, an ingredient mentioned in the Bible, adds richness to the bouquet, giving it a sweet and sensual soul. The base accords close the dance with Guaiac wood, a refined and nuanced note extracted from a special plant, known as the tree of life” — press release of the brand.
