Oud
“Rare agarwood resin — deep, animalic wood with smoky, leathery, honeyed complexity.”
Oud, from infected agarwood trees, is perfumery's most precious material, animalic, woody, sweet and infinitely complex with barnyard-to-honey facets. In India and the Middle East, oud is culture, luxury and spirituality combined. In perfumery it defines the pinnacle of oriental luxury. In Indian winters, oud unfolds for hours in magnificent complexity. In summer, the merest touch suffices. The undisputed king.
