Oud Perfumes That Will Make You Smell Like A Dream
Rich, complex and alluring, these oud perfumes can make a home in your collection for the summer…
If you’re a fan of deep and rich scents that are at once inviting and mysterious in their complexity, it’s time you add oud-based fragrances to your collection. Known as ‘liquid gold’ for its rarity, the ingredient has made its way to some of the most coveted perfumers around the world.
Oud is extracted from the agar tree, which is one of the rarest and most expensive wood, and offers a long-lasting scent. The ingredient has been popular for centuries in the Middle East and some Asian countries. Over the past few years, perfumers have begun to develop an enchanting mix of East and West through scents that pair oud with lighter complementary notes.
We’ve curated a selection of oud scents that you can add to your collection or gift someone with exquisite tastes…
