Vietnamese Oud

Vietnamese oud, also known as agarwood, originates from the Aquilaria tree, which grows in parts of Southeast Asia, including Vietnam. This rare and valuable wood produces a resin (oud) in response to fungal infection, which has a complex scent profile highly prized in perfumery and incense.

The scent of Vietnamese oud is often described as deep, rich, and woody with a slightly sweet and musty aroma. Its profile is multi-layered, featuring hints of smoky, earthy, and leathery tones that can vary significantly depending on the specific region and the age of the oud. Vietnamese oud is particularly noted for its balanced and smooth character, making it one of the most sought-after varieties of oud in the world. Its luxurious fragrance is celebrated for its depth and longevity, often lingering for hours and evolving on the skin as it interacts with body chemistry. It's widely used in high-end perfumes and traditional scents, offering a unique and exotic touch to fragrance compositions.
