Risk by Azman is a fragrance that dares to push boundaries. Its creator, Husen Baba, describes it as the “crown of fire” – the summit of desire and courage. At its core lies a rare Oud matrix, crafted from six different types of Oud, ranging from vintage to modern. This powerful foundation is seamlessly entwined with a refined floral-musky accord, where immortelle (helichrysum), tuberose, and iris take the lead.
Don’t expect the usual pyramid of top, heart, and base notes. Risk breaks those rules. It opens with a bright citrus spark of yuzu and bergamot, before unfolding into an ever-shifting interplay of warm, woody, and floral tones. A fragrance in “cycles,” as Husen Baba calls it – constantly evolving, constantly surprising.
Risk is the ultimate homage to Oud, born from Husen Baba’s long-standing vision to create the endgame Oud perfume. Together with perfumer Antonio Gardoni, that vision came to life. The result is a fragrance that refuses to be safe or predictable, celebrating instead the full intensity and complexity of this precious ingredient in all its glory.

Skanky
Skanky parfums hebben een vies en ondeugend randje; ze roepen niet een onschuldig, hygiënisch, schoon effect op, maar ze kunnen wel ongelooflijk sexy and intiem zijn. Denk aan (synthetische) civet, castoreum, musk tonkin, ambergris of hyraceum, of Oudh of labdanum.
Antonio Gardoni
Antonio Gardoni, architect en autodidact parfumeur, heeft een unieke avant-gardistische stijl en kijk op parfums. Om Gardoni te citeren: "I work at night when the light doesn’t adulterate the chemicals and when the smells of the day disappear to leave space for new experiments of shadows.” Hij vergelijkt zijn parfums ook wel met kamers die ontdekt moeten worden.
