OUD UNIVERSE

Sometimes, a scent isn’t just a smell. It’s a feeling.

Inspired by a rare oud perfume I discovered in Morocco, I set out to capture the essence of the fragrance in a visual form. The film takes cues from the Moroccan dunes, the elusive fennec fox, and the rich reddish hue of the Agar tree resin—the heart of the Oud scent.

I created the brief and storyboarded the sequence to ensure a seamless narrative flow. I then used Cinema 4d to bring the vision to life - modelling the bottle and simulating liquids and particles. The concept follows the transformation of the perfume bottle, starting with sand and resin that shape and mould into the final form—a spherical, semi-opaque glass vessel. It’s a slow, organic process, reflecting the depth and complexity of the fragrance itself.

The result is a concept video that brings the intangible into the tangible, merging scent with sight.
