The Story
Why it exists.
Keep Glazed emerged in 2019 as a collaboration between THoO’s co‑founder Andrea Thero Casotti and fellow perfumer Cristian Calabro, inspired by Canadian pâtissier Ksenia Penkina’s meticulous dessert craftsmanship. Positioned within the brand’s Arts collection, the fragrance translates the precision of a pastry recipe into a scent, pairing the house’s reverence for agarwood with a bright, tropical gourmand palette. The result is a playful yet refined ode to summer sweets, anchored by THoO’s signature wood base.

The Beginning
Keep Glazed emerged in 2019 as a collaboration between THoO’s co‑founder Andrea Thero Casotti and fellow perfumer Cristian Calabro, inspired by Canadian pâtissier Ksenia Penkina’s meticulous dessert craftsmanship. Positioned within the brand’s Arts collection, the fragrance translates the precision of a pastry recipe into a scent, pairing the house’s reverence for agarwood with a bright, tropical gourmand palette. The result is a playful yet refined ode to summer sweets, anchored by THoO’s signature wood base.
The juxtaposition of mango, strawberry leaf and iced lemon with creamy coconut and whipped cream creates a rare dialogue between fruit‑forward freshness and indulgent dessert. Ginger adds a clean, peppery spark that prevents the sweetness from becoming cloying, while the base of precious woods and musk grounds the composition, echoing THoO’s oud heritage without dominating the gourmand heart. This balance lets the scent feel both airy and lingering, a sweet‑savory paradox that invites repeated sniffs.
The Evolution
The opening erupts with a vivid mango splash, instantly sharpened by icy lemon and the subtle green of strawberry leaf, delivering a burst that feels like a bite of chilled fruit on a sun‑lit terrace. Within minutes, the heart unfolds: whipped cream swirls with coconut’s milky richness, while ginger injects a fleeting, clean heat that brightens the gourmand core. As the top notes fade, precious woods emerge, their resinous depth mingling with soft musk, turning the sugary sweetness into a warm, lingering trail. By the fourth hour, the fragrance settles into a subtle wood‑kissed finish that remains detectable on the skin for up to ten hours, offering a sweet yet sophisticated dry‑down that feels like the lingering scent of a dessert long after the plate is cleared.
Cultural Impact
Since its 2019 launch, Keep Glazed has become a go‑to for those who crave a dessert‑inspired fragrance that doesn’t overwhelm. Wearers often liken it to a tropical pastry, noting its ability to attract compliments at brunches and casual gatherings. The scent sits alongside other gourmand‑focused releases in the niche market, yet its subtle wood base distinguishes it from purely sugary offerings, earning it a niche following among fans of THoO’s modern take on oud‑infused compositions.
The House
Italy · Est. 2016
The House of Oud (THoO) is an Italian niche perfume house that places agarwood at the heart of every composition. Since its launch in 2016, the brand has built a catalogue that pairs the deep, resinous character of oud with contemporary accords, offering scents that feel both rooted and forward‑looking. THoO’s releases, from the early Crop series to recent releases such as Ruby Red, demonstrate a consistent curiosity about how traditional Middle‑Eastern material can converse with modern perfumery language.
