Aoud fragrances

Oud, also known as Agarwood, is a very valuable and rare resin used in perfumes, derived from the heartwood of the Aquilaria tree. When the tree is infected by a specific type of fungus, it produces the dark, fragrant resin as a defense mechanism. Oud has been appreciated for centuries, especially in the cultures of the Middle East and Southeast Asia, for its rich, woody, and smoky scent. Historically, Oud has been used in religious ceremonies, traditional medicine, and as a personal fragrance. In modern perfumery, it is one of the most expensive ingredients and is often used in luxury perfumes for its deep, complex aroma. Its popularity has increased worldwide, blending both Eastern and Western fragrance traditions.
