Oud

The defining note of Arabic perfumery. Oud, also known as agarwood, is a deep, resinous, smoky wood with a character unlike anything else in fragrance. Real oud is rich and complex, ranging from sweet and balsamic to dark, leathery, and animalic — sometimes within the same oil. Oud accords and inspired blends recreate this profile across a spectrum of intensities. Used primarily as a base note, oud brings unmatched depth, longevity, and warmth, and pairs traditionally with rose, saffron, amber, and musk.
