Oud

Oud (also called agarwood) is a true icon across the Persian Gulf — loved for its deep warmth and layered, almost hypnotic richness. It comes from a rare South Asian tree that only produces its precious resin when stressed by infection, which is why real oud is so scarce (and so costly). Expect a scent that leans woody, resinous, smoky — with a soft leather-like edge.
