Oud Perfume

 

Quite like sandalwood, oud is an extremely popular aroma. It is used in a wide range of oriental and Arabic perfumes. for ages, this aromatic wood has been a favourite of Arabian perfumery. However, very few are aware of its origins and how it exactly smells. Oud is obtained from a tree called the Aquilaria tree, also known as the Southeast Asian Agar tree. The production of oud is not as simple as sandalwood though.

For making the oud, which looks like a resinous dense oil, one needs to infect the tree. And not just any infestation. The agarwood or Aquilaria tree is infected with a unique type of mould. This mould makes the tree produce a resin, also known as Oudh or oud. And it might smell bad initially. This resin is then processed to make the oud oil. The finest oud oils are obtained from old trees, so the trees are allowed to age before extracting resin.

Although it is used in Arabic perfumes specifically, the best, and premium quality of oud comes from India. It is known as Oud Hindi. Due to its high demand, it is now produced in other places around Asia including Cambodia and Vietnam.
