Oud
Description
Oud is a rare and precious fragrance material derived from the resinous heartwood of certain Aquilaria trees. Also known as agarwood, it has a complex, woody-balsamic scent with notes of leather, smoke, and subtle sweetness. The finest oud comes from trees that have been naturally infected with a specific mold, which causes the tree to produce the coveted resin.
How it feels
Oud fragrances are often associated with a sense of luxury, mystery, and sophistication. They can evoke feelings of warmth, sensuality, and introspection. Oud-based scents are typically best suited for evening wear or colder weather, as their rich, enveloping character can feel overpowering in warmer conditions. They pair well with other woody, resinous, or leathery notes.
Use in perfumery
Oud is a highly prized and versatile note in perfumery. It is commonly used as a base note, providing depth, richness, and longevity to fragrances. Oud is often paired with other woody, floral, or spicy notes to create complex, luxurious scent profiles. It is a key ingredient in many niche and high-end perfumes, and its rarity and exclusivity contribute to its prestige and desirability.
