I get to hear this a lot, especially in Australia.

Without doubt, many of the readers of this blog too might have heard this first time.

In simple words, most people (excluding the passionate and well-informed organic perfume lovers) aren’t aware of the ‘Oudh’ perfume.

Let me enlighten you about Oudh perfume.

Oudh is valued in many ancient cultures for its distinguishing fragrance.

Oudh is long cherished as a perfume ingredient especially in the Middle East and Europe for centuries.

Now, Oudh is getting more popular in the West too.

No surprises, people in Australia are also being charmed to its wild and exotic aroma.

Oudh Perfume’s Origin

Oudh, also known as agarwood, oud, Oudh or agar, originated in the Assam region of India.

It comes from the wildwood of the tropical Agar (Aquilaria) tree and used as one of the most expensive raw perfume ingredients in the world.

When the wood of agar tree gets infected with a certain mold variety (Phialophora parasitica), it reacts by producing a precious, dark and fragrant resin, which is the perfume ingredient Oudh (also called agarwood).

There are approximately 15 species of the genus Aquilaria. The resin has many names including agarwood, aloeswood, eaglewood, gaharu, agalloch or Oud (In Arabic).

The longer time a tree is infected, the deeper and darker the resin gets.

Why So Expensive?

It is considered one of the most expensive and luxurious perfume ingredients in the world.

Why so?’, you may ask.

First thing first, Oudh wood comes from agar tree and this tree is pretty rare.

The International Journal of Pharmaceutical and Life Sciences states that agarwood, also known as the “Wood of the Gods,” is mentioned as early as the third century AD in ancient China.

It is considered that the best Oudh oil comes from the highly-aged trees.

Having such scarce trees itself makes Oudh more rare and expensive.

As per established researches, fewer than 2% of wild agar trees produce the Oudh.

To be philosophical, Oudh perfume is the perfect combination of the art and beauty of organic perfume ingredients.

Oudh As A Fragrance

When it comes to smell, Oudh is musky, brooding and exotic — it mainly depends on the

Many people think that Oudh is another type of attar.

However, there is a huge difference between them.

Attars are a blend of different aromatics, typically infused in rose oil or sandalwood oil base.

The unique thing about pure Oudh oil is that it can be used as an actual fragrant ingredient itself, without having any other aromatic compounds added to it.
