An airy mountainous rose-oud that takes you to new spiritual heights, the fifth collaboration between Antonio Lasheras and doctor-turned-perfumer Rajesh Balkrishnan. Ora combines exquisite absolutes from the east and west to create an austere, delicate floral-woody experience. The brute power of rose and oud absolutes from various regions of the world have been tamed here into sophisticated serenity. Peppery pine intertwines throughout, rendering Ora tranquil and uplifting.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
ORA suits close, deliberate wear: the kind of fragrance that feels most compelling in a room where its leathery rose can move slowly and leave a textured trail. It projects a cultivated, slightly feral presence, more intimate than flashy, with an old-world intensity that reads as confident and unusual.
How to wear
Best worn in cool to mild weather, ORA benefits from light application, as its extrait concentration and animalic oud materials can become dense quickly. One or two sprays are enough to let the rose, pine, and leather facets unfold on skin with a slow, persistent trail; in warmer air, it will feel more forceful and barnyard, while cooler conditions keep the floral structure clearer.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like rose with bite: leathery, animalic, oud-driven, and distinctly non-sweet. It will appeal to those drawn to vintage-style compositions, natural materials, and fragrances that feel rugged, textured, and a little unruly rather than smooth or decorative.
Release year
2025
The nose
Antonio Lasheras and Rajesh Balkrishnan. Lasheras and Balkrishnan work in a style that leans naturalistic, textural, and often deliberately unconventional, with a strong interest in material contrast and a more artisanal, less polished expression of perfumery. ORA reflects that approach in its rose-oud structure, where floral brightness is set against barnyard oud, leather, and animalic depth rather than smoothed into a conventional luxury accord.
Collaborators
Antonio Lasheras and Rajesh Balkrishnan co-created the formula, shaping ORA as their fifth collaboration and guiding its rose-oud concept together from the outset.
Mallo’s story
Mallo is a Spanish all-natural perfume house built around limited compositions, handcrafted production, and a strong sense of material integrity. Its identity is intimate and reflective, with an emphasis on memory, forgetfulness, and the tactile presence of natural ingredients rather than mass-market polish.
ORA’s concept
ORA was introduced in 2025 as a limited-edition extrait de parfum and presented by the house as an airy mountainous rose oud. The composition brings together several rose materials and multiple oud expressions, with the concept framed around elevation, texture, and a more spiritual, untamed take on the classic rose-oud theme.
Extra info
ORA was released as an ultra-limited edition of just 75 bottles in 30ml format. The house describes it as a rose oud, while critics have singled out its unusual barnyard oud and pine-rose contrast. It is now sold out.
