OUD

The word 'Oud' means 'wood' in Arabic, but this key ingredient in perfumery is more than just a piece of tree.

It is known as the black gold of perfumers and is the wood of a tree native to Southeast Asia called Agar. When this tree becomes ill, it gets infected with a fungus that produces a fragrant, dark-colored resin with a delicious aroma. This perfumery ingredient is so prized because only 2% of Agar trees produce oud and it is necessary to wait an average of 6 years to exploit this resin.

Its unique fragrance is woody, warm, balsamic, and sweet. Ideal for both men and women. It is a balsamic aroma with great body that is reminiscent of wood, smoke, and leather.
