Strangelove NYC: The Art of Real Oud – New Release "a fire within" at Harrods Until Dec 1st

In the world of niche luxury fragrances, few names resonate as profoundly as Strangelove NYC. This exceptional perfume house, founded in 2013 by Elizabeth Gaynes, has redefined the art of scent creation by blending rarity, sustainability, and craftsmanship.


Strangelove NYC’s journey began in the lush forests of Borneo, where Elizabeth Gaynes immersed herself in sustainable farming practices for oud—a rare and precious aromatic wood resin that forms the cornerstone of the brand’s creations.


Often referred to as "liquid gold," oud is one of the most sought-after ingredients in perfumery, prized for its deep, complex aroma and ability to evolve uniquely on the skin.


And its latest release, "a fire within," is no different... and it is exclusively available at Harrods until Dec 1st.



The brand’s commitment to sourcing pure, sustainable oud is a cornerstone of its philosophy. Strangelove NYC collaborates with ethical plantations to harvest this exquisite resin responsibly, ensuring the preservation of both the environment and the traditional craftsmanship behind its cultivation. This dedication to authenticity allows Strangelove NYC to deliver fragrances that are as rare as they are luxurious.


Strangelove NYC’s debut fragrance, "deadofnight," launched in 2014 at Harrods’ Salon de Parfums, set a new standard in oud-based perfumery. The perfume’s seductive blend of pure oud and complementary notes captured the imagination of connoisseurs worldwide.


From the creamy richness of "meltmyheart" to the ethereal elegance of "silencethesea," Strangelove NYC demonstrates the endless possibilities of oud. Each fragrance combines two types of sustainable oud with rare ingredients like ambergris, orris butter, red champaca, and gardenia enfleurage, creating an olfactory experience unlike any other.



Strangelove NYC’s fragrances are not for the faint of heart. They are bold, unapologetic, and deeply personal.


For those seeking a scent that transcends the ordinary and embraces the extraordinary, Strangelove NYC is a testament to the power of oud, artistry, and individuality—a symphony of pure luxury in every bottle.
