12 Faces by House of Dastan
Launch Year: 2026
Perfumer: Richard Herpin
Concentration: Extrait de Parfum
Fragrance Profile:
12 Faces is a sophisticated woody-gourmand composition built around Asian oud, Persian saffron, sandalwood, and almond. It opens with lemon, bergamot, fig, apple, and creamy almond milk, creating a bright yet smooth introduction. The heart develops with Persian saffron, nutmeg, orange blossom, geranium, incense, and cistus, gradually transforming the fragrance from creamy and aromatic into something darker and more resinous. Guaiac wood, patchouli, suede, oud, sandalwood, amyris, vetiver, and musk form the substantial woody foundation, while vanilla and praline provide a rich gourmand softness.
The concept is inspired by the significance of the number twelve in Persian culture, including the twelve months of the year and the twelve hours defining day and night. The fragrance is designed to reveal multiple facets throughout its evolution, progressing from creamy almond toward deeper, smokier oud.
Performance:
A powerful and persistent Extrait de Parfum designed around an approximately twelve-hour olfactory evolution. The creamy almond and fruit of the opening gradually transition toward saffron, incense, woods, and eventually a darker oud-centered drydown. Sandalwood, vanilla, musk, and praline provide warmth and smoothness throughout the development.
Ideal For:
Perfect for oud collectors and lovers of saffron, sandalwood, incense, and sophisticated gourmand fragrances. An excellent choice for evening wear, formal occasions, special events, and cooler weather, particularly for those who appreciate the contrast between dark Middle Eastern-inspired woods and creamy gourmand elements.
Limited Edition:
12 Faces is limited to only 1,000 individually hand-numbered bottles, making it a particularly collectible release from House of Dastan.
