Oros Fragrances come into Nigeria
Pictured above are Brand Ambassadors Judy Austin and Yul Edochie. Oros,
which means gold, and is a collection of six French fragrances, was
officially launched at a well attended, invitation only, launch event on
the 12th of February, 2017.
The launch took place at the iconic Didi Museum,
owned by Newton Jibunoh, a man who is remembered for his
adventurous drive across the Sahara Desert from Nigeria to Europe. The
location also houses the Nigerian store of Ermenegildo Zegna, the
Italian designer and bespoke male clothier.
Oros is a young perfume brand, with the earliest coming into the market
in 2014 and the latest in 2015. Oros has already been successfully
launched in the UAE.
Several notable people attended the Lagos launch event including the
speaker of the house of Anambra State and her husband. The
younger generation was well represented as Uti Nwachukwu also graced the
event with his presence along with other young notable Nigerian
personalities. The brand ambassadors for the fragrances in the persons
of Yul Edochie and Judy Austin, both well known in Nollywood, were also
present. High profile Nigerians from different walks of life came
through.
The event was an easy fun evening tagged as a Fragrance Tasting and
Media Launch. Three tasting stations were set up to showcase the
Oros perfumes which are six in total: Oros Pour Femme, Oros Fleur and
Oros Holiday Edition for females, Oros Pour Homme and Oros Limted
Edition for males and the unisex Oros Oud. The bottle design for the
fragrances are elegant and semi circular, clad in leather and studded
with Swarovski Crystal elements. The colour of the leather is used to
differentiate each fragrance apart from the unique long lasting smell of
each one. The tasting notes for the fragrances are described as
follows.
Oros pour Femme
Described as elegant, provocative and free spirited, a scent full of
passion and emotion, Oros for women is a floral fragrance with an
enchanting blend of romantic jasmine and sensual tuberose. The fragrance
opens to sparkling notes of bergamot, pear and lily. The heart reveals a
floral combination of ylang-ylang, tuberose and jasmine. The dry down
mixes white musk, patchouli and amber.
Oros pour Homme
An aromatic, woody fragrance, Oros for men is supremely masculine and
seductive. The fragrances open with citrus accords paired up with
pink pepper, the heart is a sensual blend of spices and jasmine. The
dry-down mixes guaicwood, patchouli and sandalwood.
Oros Oud
Known as the traditional scent of Arabia, oud has been around for
centuries. It is quite heady and considered musky and sensual. Oud is an
oil and comes from the wood of a Southeast Asian tree known as agar.
When the wood produces oud, it is known as agarwood.
As the evening progressed, invited guests went from one tasting station
to another and were allowed to ‘taste’ the fragrances as they were
sprayed on testers. The fragrances were also at hand for purchase and
quite a few people bought the ones they fell in love with before leaving
the venue, especially as a discounted price was provided to those who
came for the launch event. The guests were treated to finger foods
provided by Chef Niyi Williams and a new champagne named Charles VII
also making its debut in the Nigerian market.
