About Light of Ormuz

Light of Ormuz by the niche brand Arts&Scents was launched in 2010 and became one of the most striking representatives of the fougère-spicy fragrance family.

It was created by perfumer Manuela Pfannes-Völkl, known for her bold approach to combining ingredients.

Founded in Germany in 2009, the perfume house Arts&Scents quickly earned a reputation as one of the most creative and daring players on the niche fragrance scene.

Inspiration and Story

The fragrance’s name translates as “Light of Ormuz” and refers to the legendary island of Ormuz in the Persian Gulf.

Its creators sought to capture the unique atmosphere of this place—the contrast between its harsh history and unspoiled nature, as well as the blend of cultures and scents of the East.

This dialogue can be felt in every note: the freshness of the sea and citrus gives way to a spicy heart, ending in a warm woody-balsamic base.

Character and Scent Profile

Light of Ormuz is a unisex fragrance suited to both women and men who appreciate complex compositions.

Thanks to its eau de parfum concentration, it has a noticeable sillage and excellent longevity. The fragrance is especially beautiful in cooler weather, revealing its full depth on the skin.

These compositions share a spicy, woody-fougère character with oriental accents.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The top notes of Light of Ormuz are an invigorating cocktail of citrus fruits, cool mint, and an aquatic accord reminiscent of a sea breeze.

At the heart, a spicy-green duet of green notes and spices unfolds, evoking an Eastern bazaar. The base consists of damp vetiver, coniferous white cedar, and sweet, smoky tonka beans.

This combination delivers a long-lasting, multifaceted trail.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
High (5 to 12 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

The scent is really interesting, although aquatic notes aren't my thing. Here it feels more like cool water than ocean freshness. The mint is quite pleasant, not irritating, more like the smell of chewing gum. It's refreshing, a little sharp, but overall very invigorating. I think it's more suitable for young people, and as for unisex, that's debatable, as it clearly smells quite girlish 🌊
