The Scent Profile

 

Oud is a deep woody note known for its rich, smoky and resinous scent profile. Oud is an ancient resinous scent derived from infected Aquilaria trees that has evolved from traditional sacred rituals in Asia and the Middle East into a prominent element of modern global luxury perfumery. It can smell dark, leathery, earthy, medicinal, sweet or animalic depending on the quality and blend. Oud fragrances often feel powerful, luxurious and long-lasting.

 

How Oud Is Used in Fragrance

 

Oud is most often used as a base note, bringing intensity, depth and a distinctive woody warmth. It appears in woody, amber, leather, rose and spicy fragrances, often paired with saffron, rose, vanilla, patchouli, sandalwood, leather, musk or incense. Look for oud if you like fragrances that feel bold, opulent and deeply memorable.
