Its formula is very complex, made up by lots of components which I tried to mix in the smoothest way I could. So many components that, if you ask me, I have to look up the formula, the pyramid being just a synthesis.The funny thing is, I worked so much on the balance of so many ingredients that I forgot how it all started. It all started in Marrakesh, one of my favorite city, which I visited at 28 and then 39, always coming back with plenty of fake oils, scented stones, resins to burn, carpets, swords, and other useless but crucial objects.  Last time I came back with many smelly bottles, among which a deliciously fake oud oil. I have never been a fan of it — as it was so fashionable lately, and I really hate trends — but this one is different. So, once home, I tried to make my own base inspired by this Moroccan fake oud, thus creating a sticky sweet woody smoky oriental stuff, which I called ‘My Oud’.Some time after, I started my Dark Side project (at the time named ‘Into Darkness’) and integrated this base in it. By doing so, I added in due proportion all ingredients of ‘My Oud’ into the bigger formula of Dark Side. After that, I made so many other variations during the following months while searching for a further harmony, that I simply forgot that the soul of ‘My Oud’ was in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly a frag lover’s review — wondering about the possibility of the presence of Oud, which of course was not enlisted in the pyramid — made me remember about my lovely fragrant memory from Marrakesh. So, if you really want to keep a secret, you just have to forget about it, like I did with ‘My Oud’ base.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Francesca Bianchi","offers":[{"title":"100ML \/ THE DARK SIDE","offer_id":54120385708365,"sku":"FRBI-DASI-100","price":235.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"30ML \/ THE DARK SIDE","offer_id":54120385741133,"sku":"FRBI-DASI-30","price":108.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0951\/1105\/3645\/files\/Packshot_FP_2_-_174.png?v=1781620190","url":"https:\/\/nue-age.fr\/en-us\/products\/the-dark-side-francesca-bianchi","provider":"nue.age","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
