Oud Perfumes
Frequently Asked Questions
What is oud?
Oud (also oudh or agarwood) is a resinous fragrant wood created when the agar tree reacts to a fungal infection. It is one of the most precious fragrance materials in the world and the heart of Arabian perfumery – deep, warm, woody and slightly smoky.
What does oud perfume smell like?
Oud smells woody-balsamic with smoky, slightly animalic and sweet facets. Modern compositions often pair it with rose, saffron, amber or vanilla – ranging from dark and dry to soft and oriental.
Is oud perfume unisex?
Yes – oud is traditionally worn by women and men alike. Whether an oud fragrance leans masculine or feminine depends on the accompanying notes: rose and vanilla soften it, leather and spices make it bolder.
What occasions suit oud?
Oud is a present fragrance for special moments: evenings, celebrations, the colder seasons. Applied sparingly as a perfume oil, oud also works for every day – staying close to the skin, elegant rather than overpowering.
