Aura Budapest

Oud begins with the Aquilaria tree.

When the tree is wounded or exposed to certain forms of stress, it responds by producing a dark, aromatic resin within its wood — a natural defence that, over time, transforms the pale wood into the deeply fragrant material known as agarwood.

It is this rare transformation that gives oud its unmistakable depth and complexity.

In Frozen Moscow, oud becomes part of a darker story. Its rich, woody character meets the intensity of leather, creating depth beneath the fragrance’s colder, sharper opening.

Raw yet refined.
Dark yet warm.
A material shaped by adversity, becoming something remarkable.

NEW FRAGRANCE — FROZEN MOSCOW
Frozen Moscow was created for those who embrace character over convention.

It doesn’t seek attention — it holds it. A fragrance with a strong presence, designed to become more personal with every hour it spends on the skin.

Confident, distinctive and unapologetic, it leaves an impression without needing to explain itself.

Because sometimes, presence says enough.

NEW FRAGRANCE — FROZEN MOSCOW
Frozen Moscow was inspired by the Moscow travels of a dear friend of Gergő Kőmezei — an experience shaped by the city, its atmosphere and the memories brought home from it.

Bold, masculine and full of character, the fragrance opens with the vibrant heat of ginger, black pepper and saffron, creating a striking contrast with the colder world that inspired it.

At its heart, leather and oud unfold, bringing depth, intensity and a dark, distinctive character to the composition. As the fragrance settles, musk, ambroxan and vetiver form a rich and lasting base.

COMING OCTOBER 2 - Every story begins somewhere.

This one begins in Moscow.

A city of contrasts — monumental yet intimate, restless yet frozen in moments of silence. A place where the cold is more than a temperature. It becomes part of the atmosphere, the memories, the way a story is remembered.

It is here that the inspiration behind our newest creation takes shape. A personal story, rooted in the experiences of someone close to our perfumer, Gergely Kőmezei, and reimagined through his own olfactory language.

A city.
A memory.
A story captured in a bottle.

The final pieces are about to come together.

October 2.

The story will be revealed.

RELEASING SOON - A new story begins in the cold.

A new chapter is taking shape at Aura Budapest — one built around stories, memories and the people who leave a lasting trace in our lives.

Created by Gergely Kőmezei, perfumer of Aura Budapest, this new fragrance is deeply personal. Its inspiration comes from the experiences of someone close to him — a story translated into scent through atmosphere, emotion and memory.

Created for the colder days, it carries a bold and distinctive character. Intense, uncompromising, and made to leave a lasting presence.

But some stories are not meant to be told all at once.

This is only the beginning.

More will be revealed soon.

The first cold doesn’t arrive with noise.

It settles quietly into the air.
The mornings become a little crisper.
The light a little softer.
The familiar begins to feel different.

Some transformations happen so subtly that you only notice them once they’ve already become part of the atmosphere.

Something is taking shape.

Soon.

The air begins to change.

Mornings feel quieter.
The light grows softer.
The familiar slowly transforms into something unexpected.

Even the iris, once vibrant and full of life, embraces a colder expression.

Some stories don’t end with the changing of a season.
They simply evolve.

Something beautiful is taking shape.

A fragrance is never defined by a single note.

It is the harmony between contrasts that creates its personality.

Vibrant.
The sparkling energy that captures attention.

Spicy.
The warmth that gives it character.

Intense.
The lasting impression that stays long after you’ve left the room.

Storm Chaser is built around these three emotions, creating a scent that feels modern, elegant and undeniably distinctive.

Surrounded by blooming iris, Storm Chaser reveals one of the ingredients that defines its unmistakable identity.

The powdery elegance of the flower meets vibrant spices and deep woody accords, creating a fragrance that feels both refined and daring. Familiar, yet impossible to compare.

Not designed to follow trends.
Designed to leave an impression.

Every unforgettable fragrance begins with a single inspiration.

For Storm Chaser, that inspiration is iris — a flower admired for centuries for its elegance, complexity and quiet confidence. Soft yet powerful. Delicate, yet impossible to ignore.

Its velvety petals reflect the very character of the fragrance: sophisticated, vibrant and full of depth. Before every note settles on the skin, before every memory is created, there is nature quietly shaping the story.

Storm Chaser starts here.
