The Inspiration

Deeper than words. A whisper to the soul. Born from a dream.

Deeper Than Words came to Yusif in 2020, drawn from an ancient Scandinavian tale of a hidden treasure said to hold untold power. He unearthed it as a scent: olibanum, amber and honey opening rich and golden, vanilla, iris and oud deepening the heart, agarwood and spice grounding the base. It was made to capture the gentle power of masculinity, present and unforgettable rather than loud.

Hand-composed and finished in Accra, it is among the house’s most profound creations, a fragrance for the man who says more by saying less. So much of what it carries lives beneath language, which is exactly where the name comes from.

The Perfumer

Why I made this

This one arrived in a dream, tangled up with an old Scandinavian legend about a hidden treasure. I woke and chased it: amber, honey and oud, something rich and grounding that reaches a man somewhere below words. There are things a man feels but rarely says. I wanted a scent that lived right there. That is why it's called Deeper Than Words.
