A golden warmth, between honey, fruit and tobacco depth.
Davana, beeswax, ylang-ylang, tobacco, mate — dense, sensual, luminous.
The seraglio is the harem of the Ottoman palace — a world of warmth, profusion, and golden sensuality. Naomi Goodsir has made it the image of an extraordinary gourmand perfume, composed by Bertrand Duchaufour with a pyramid of 15 ingredients — the richest and most ambitious in the collection. Handcrafted near Grasse, Or du Sérail is the gourmand perfume that refuses to be simple.
Davana, mango, sweet orange, red fruit, apple, and rum open in a remarkably generous and luminous fruity accord — slightly liqueur-like, subtly sun-kissed, immediately warm. At the heart, slightly honeyed and waxy beeswax structures the composition into a tactile and enveloping texture. Clary sage brings a subtly musky and amber aromatic dimension that immediately distinguishes this gourmand from others. Coconut and ylang-ylang complete a heart accord of solar warmth and controlled sweetness. And the base plunges into depth — warm amber, resinous cistus labdanum, slightly smoky tobacco, subtly herbaceous and astringent mate in a very rare accord in perfumery, discreet vanilla, structuring cedar, persistent musk. A moderate sillage but with long-lasting wear and remarkable persistence on the skin.
Or du Sérail is the perfume for those who understand that gourmandise can be dark — and that is precisely what makes it precious.

A note from Maison Diaphane
Our favorite in the Naomi Goodsir collection. The beeswax and clary sage at the heart, signed by Bertrand Duchaufour, are the notes that distinguish Or du Sérail from all conventional fruity gourmands. The mate in the base is the absolute surprise — a slightly herbaceous bitterness that prevents the composition from becoming too sweet and gives it its unique character.

Or du Sérail Eau de Parfum by Naomi Goodsir is a unisex gourmand perfume from the niche perfumery house founded by Australian milliner Naomi Goodsir, based in France. A Maison Diaphane favorite. Composed by Bertrand Duchaufour and handcrafted near Grasse, it combines davana, mango, orange, and rum in the opening, beeswax, clary sage, coconut, and ylang-ylang in the heart, and amber, cistus labdanum, tobacco, mate, cedar, vanilla, and musk in the base. Available at Maison Diaphane, official retailer. Free delivery from €100 (in France).
Its pyramid combines a golden, slightly liqueur-like fruity opening, an enveloping, tactile, and slightly aromatic beeswax-clary sage-coconut heart, and a deep, slightly bitter, and very persistent amber-tobacco-mate-labdanum base. Unisex gourmand with moderate sillage, suitable for autumn and winter.
Why is this your favorite?
Because Or du Sérail is the most complex and unexpected gourmand in the Naomi Goodsir collection. The beeswax in the heart gives it a texture that sweet gourmands lack. The clary sage brings an aromatic dimension that prevents it from being too simple. And the mate in the base — a very rare note in a gourmand — gives it a slightly herbaceous bitterness that structures the whole with remarkable precision.
What is mate in perfumery?
Mate is an infusion of Ilex paraguariensis leaves, widely consumed in South America. Its essential oil has slightly herbaceous, slightly smoky, and slightly astringent facets. It is a very rare base note in perfumery — Bertrand Duchaufour uses it here to give the base a slightly structuring bitterness that distinguishes Or du Sérail from all conventional gourmands.
Is it a very sweet perfume?
No — that's precisely what sets it apart. The beeswax is honeyed rather than sugary, the clary sage is aromatic, and the mate in the base brings a slight bitterness that counterbalances the fruity sweetness of the opening. The gourmandise here is sophisticated, not confectionery.
For which season?
Mainly autumn and winter — its golden warmth and tobacco depth blossom in the cold. In the evening, its moderate sillage and persistence make it an intimate and elegant presence perfume.
