Oud

90 perfumes

Oud, derived from the resinous heartwood of Aquilaria trees infected by mold, is perfumery’s liquid gold. Its profile is profoundly complex: leathery, animalic, woody, and slightly medicinal. Primarily a base note, it provides unparalleled longevity and depth. In the Gulf, it is a cultural cornerstone, often layered with saffron or Taif rose to create a regal, intoxicating sillage. This sacred ingredient embodies luxury, tradition, and warmth, serving as the soulful foundation for the most prestigious and evocative Middle Eastern fragrance compositions.
