Thai Oud

Thai oud is a highly prized and rare fragrance ingredient derived from the resinous heartwood of the Aquilaria tree, native to Southeast Asia. This precious material develops a rich, complex aroma with notes of dark chocolate, leather, and smoky incense when the tree is infected by a specific mold.

Thai oud evokes a sense of mystery, opulence, and timelessness. Fragrances featuring this note are often best suited for evening wear or special occasions, as the scent has a captivating, almost hypnotic quality that commands attention. It can create a feeling of warmth, sophistication, and exclusivity.

Thai oud is highly valued in perfumery and often used as a base note to add depth, warmth, and a luxurious, sophisticated character to fragrances. It is commonly found in niche and luxury perfumes, where it is often blended with other rich, resinous notes like frankincense, myrrh, or patchouli.
