Mystery & Exclusivity

"The Fragrance of Oudh is a lot more than a personal fashion statement; it's the epitome of greatness, masculinity, and unparalleled heritage that transcends the boundaries of the fragrance world." The aroma is quite intricate to define in words; it smells of wood, sweet resins, and a dark smoky aroma. Its notes are unique, with a unisex inclination, and are not proposed for inobtrusive people: experts attribute an animal chord, very corporeal and smoky, woody, elegant, warm, and sweet at the same time enigmatic, with notes of resin and smolder.

Bewilder & mystify your senses with Oudh

Oud is delicately extracted from a tree called Aquilaria. When this particular tree is infected with a certain fungus, it produces a delectably scented, dark-colored resin to shield itself. This is known as Oud, both the resin and the essential oil extracted from it after 20-25 years, and that is what is used in perfumes. It isn't easy to extract it naturally since there are a very few Aquiliria trees, and of these few trees, only 2% are naturally infected." It is quite a complex task to select the right Oud perfume since there are so many options available, and each fragrance is unique. You can look for a blend that suits your personality and lifestyle.

Usage

Oud is an aromatic substance increasingly being used in perfumes for men offered by the most famous labels. Middle Eastern in origin, Oud (also known as Agarwood) is the resinous wood of a particular tree species caused due to an infection. Oud has been used over thousands of years, mostly in traditional perfumes and as incense. These days, however, this powerfully fragrant substance is also used in many contemporary scents that blend Eastern and Western sensibilities.

  • Oud also pairs exceptionally well with spicy, fruity, and smoky scents to curate a potent yet head-turning masculine scent. This combination is a win-win for those intimate and close encounters with your preferred partner.
  • A less masculine yet equally compelling scent can be made when Oud is paired with vanilla, white rose, and saffron with sandalwood notes.
  • Simple blends containing Oud, pepper, and vanilla are very sophisticated and modern. They have an overwhelmingly woody fragrance with underlying notes of spice.
  •  A perfume that is a blend of Oud with patchouli and rose, in addition to hints of leather and dried fruits, has a very sensual and rich feel. This blend is a reasonably strong one and should only ever be worn by a mature man who has the confidence to carry it off.
  • Oud goes very well with amber, which gives a warm note to perfume, and osmanthus, a flower with a very light and fresh fragrance that reminds one of peaches and apricots. The overall blend is a highly complex one that you could wear to important social occasions.

Any perfume containing this ingredient will have a powerful aroma that takes a long time to develop when it comes in touch with your skin, and you should avoid using it in large quantities in one go.
