Oud is the base fragrance in each one of our signature scents. Known as the “five thousand dollar per pound scent,” Oud is by far one of the most expensive raw fragrance ingredients in the world and its value is often estimated as one-and-a-half times the value of gold. For these reasons, it is sometimes referred to as “liquid gold.”

Oud is comprised of many diverse aspects. It is simultaneously pungent, yet very pleasing, invoking warm, smoky notes with tinges of dampened wood. Although subtlety blended with touches of floral and fruit, the predominant scent is musky and sensual. The complex and exquisite fragrance of Oud is a precious, rare and intriguing gift of nature that when blended with other essential oils creates an olfactory experience that permeates any interior environment with a sense of opulence, luxury and supreme comfort.

Historians can trace the use of Oud back to ancient times and incontrovertible evidence lies within the scriptures of various ancient cultures.

In Hebrew tradition, The Song of Songs describes Oud as a form of incense, and King Solomon as “coming up from the desert like a column of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and incense.”

This exquisite essential oil has many applications that range from spiritual to therapeutic and medicinal. It is often associated with harmony and serenity of spirit.
