Exotic, sweetish, oriental
For centuries, it has been a tradition in Arab countries to set up incense burners in which oud scented oil is burnt at bazaars. Passers-by find the smell pleasant and bend over the jars so that their clothes and bodies smell of it. Perfumes with oud have a long tradition in Egypt and India in particular and are considered powerful aphrodisiacs. The extraction and production of oud has a tradition dating back thousands of years and is particularly complex, which makes the fragrance incredibly expensive and valuable. Oud comes from the wood of the eaglewood tree. In order to obtain the substance, the tree must be scarified and at the same time the wound must be infected by a specific mold. Oud is made from this special resin that is extracted. Aromatically, oud captivates with its smoky and woody notes. It harmonizes particularly well with sweet notes and only gradually develops its aroma.
