Oudh also known as agarwood is one of the rarest and most treasured natural resins in the world. It forms when Aquilaria trees become infected by a specific type of fungus, prompting the tree to produce a dark, fragrant resin in self-defense. Over time, this resin-rich wood transforms into what many have called “liquid gold.” Cherished for centuries across ancient civilizations, oud holds a rich legacy of spiritual, medicinal, and aromatic significance. Today, it remains a symbol of elegance, mystery, and prestige.

What Is Oud Made Of?

Oud originates from the heartwood of Aquilaria trees infected by a particular fungal mold. In response to the infection, the tree generates a resin that gradually permeates the wood. Only about 1 in 10 trees undergoes this transformation, which contributes to oud’s rarity and immense value.

Where Does Oud Come From?

Oud-producing Aquilaria trees are native to Southeast Asia, particularly in regions such as India, Malaysia, Cambodia, and Thailand. However, due to overharvesting and environmental threats, wild oud is increasingly scarce driving up both its exclusivity and price.

 

Why Is Oud So Expensive?

Several factors contribute to the high cost of oud:

• Extreme Rarity: The resin only forms under specific, natural conditions, making it exceptionally rare.
• Time-Intensive Harvesting: Extracting and distilling oud requires years of expertise and careful craftsmanship.
• Global Demand: Its deeply captivating aroma has made it highly sought-after in perfumery worldwide, especially in the Middle East and luxury markets.

The Unique Scent of Oud

Oud’s aroma is unlike any other deeply woody, warm, earthy, and slightly sweet with balsamic and smoky undertones. Its complexity and long-lasting character have made it a prized base in high-end perfumery.

Whether in the form of Oud Perfume or Oud Attar, this essence delivers a rich, enveloping experience. Attars alcohol-free concentrated perfume oils offer an even more intense and enduring expression of oud’s beauty.
