Indonesian Oud

Indonesian Oud, also known as agarwood, is a precious resin found in the heartwood of Aquilaria trees, which grow primarily in Indonesia. This rare and valuable substance is formed when the tree produces a dark aromatic resin in response to an infection. Oud has been highly prized for centuries in perfumery, incense, and traditional medicines across the Middle East and Asia due to its unique and captivating scent.

The scent profile of Indonesian Oud is complex, deeply woody, and aromatic. It typically features rich, earthy notes with a slightly sweet and musty undertone. Its multi-layered fragrance often includes hints of smoke, spices, and perhaps a touch of dampness, reminiscent of a dense, tropical forest after the rain. Despite its intensity, Indonesian Oud retains a certain warm and soothing quality, making it highly sought-after for use in luxury perfumes and high-end aromatic products.

Each batch of Oud can vary significantly depending on the specific region it comes from, the age of the wood, and how it was harvested and processed. This makes Indonesian Oud not just a fragrance ingredient but also a luxurious olfactory experience highly valued among connoisseurs worldwide.
