## Essence
Eclipse d'Or is a 2025 limited Zhor Parfums exclusive from The House of Oud: mandarin, bergamot and pear over iris, orange blossom, jasmine, amber, patchouli, oud, cypriol and animalic suede-like warmth. It is built as a twilight contrast between luminous fruit-floral top notes and a darker resinous base.
## Scent Profile
The opening should be bright and juicy, with mandarin, bergamot and pear giving a golden citrus-fruit effect. Pear adds soft succulence while the citrus keeps the top from becoming syrupy.
The heart is a white-floral powder section. Orange blossom and jasmine provide glow, while iris and Iriswood-style materials suggest a powdery, creamy, suede-like texture rather than a cold rooty orris effect.
The base is the conceptual eclipse: amber, patchouli, oud, cypriol, light woods and animalic notes forming warm skin, suede and resin. Independent wear data is still thin, so this profile should be read as documented structure more than settled consensus.
## Performance
Performance is not firmly established yet. The base materials suggest good persistence, and early facts entries classify it as above average, but there is not enough review volume for a confident consensus.
## Wearing Context
The fruity citrus and white-floral opening gives daytime potential, while the suede-oud-amber base pushes it toward transitional weather, evening and dressed-up intimate wear. It is likely more compelling as a twilight or close-contact scent than as a bright office freshie.
## Comparisons & DNA
Within The House of Oud, it belongs to the brand's bright-top-over-warm-base style rather than the annual Crop oud studies. No reliable one-to-one comparison has emerged yet.
Do not confuse it with unrelated fragrances named Eclipse from other brands. Eclipse d'Or is a modern fruity-floral amber-oud exclusive with a twilight concept.
## Reception
There is no real consensus yet. Early comments are sparse and mixed, including one negative medicinal-vanilla impression, but that is not enough to define the fragrance. The fair position is caution: the concept is clear, the market signal is not.
A blind-buy verdict would be irresponsible beyond collector appetite. Sample if possible, especially because exclusivity can inflate urgency before the scent has a track record.
## Versions & Reformulation
Released in 2025 as a limited Zhor Parfums exclusive. Single composition, no flankers or reformulations known. Perfumer attribution is not documented confidently.
## Acquisition Notes
Distribution is narrow and luxury-tier. Availability outside Zhor-linked channels is likely limited, and decants may be scarce. With no special batch-code guidance available, provenance and seller reputation matter most.
