Oud is one of the most prized ingredients in perfumery and a cornerstone of Arabian fragrance. It adds warmth, depth and a luxurious signature.
What is oud?
Oud comes from resinous agarwood and can smell woody, smoky, leathery or sweet depending on the blend.
Why oud stands out
It lasts well, layers beautifully with amber, musk and rose, and gives fragrances a rich identity.
How to choose an oud fragrance
Start with smoother, sweeter oud if you are new. Go darker and smokier if you want more intensity.
