Blackbird was first an award winning menswear store that opened in 2004 in Seattle. Nicole Miller, its founder and creative director, brought Blackbird to new heights in 2013 when she decided to focus on distributing the Blackbird brand internationally and closed her stores. Today Blackbird is known worldwide for its unconventional and remarkable fragrances and grooming products.
Aaron Way, lead perfumer at Blackbird, described the process of creating these unique scents as coming up with an abstract concept before any notes are discussed. Using a few rare or unusual ingredients ensures that their creations are both beautiful and distinct.
Moto Oud is the scent of a broken down motorcycle in the desert with its sun-heated leather saddle bags and the smell of burnt tires. It is a woody fragrance featuring notes of oud, leather, burnt rubber and spice. Moto Oud is an eau de parfum, edp.
Fragrantica: "Yep, it smells exactly like that: oud, leather, motor oil. I know a lot of perfumeries go for the lyrical description, and sometimes those poetic renderings fall short, BUT Moto Oud is exactly as advertised. It smells like you just fixed your bike while wearing a leather jacket."
parfumo: "Oud, leather and motor oil. Scent of a rebel. Balsamic, dark and smoky."
