Oudh From Al Bashar Fragrances 6ml  

Oudh also known as agarwood is a precious and highly sought-after resinous wood that comes from the Aquilaria tree. When this tree becomes infected with a certain type of mold, it produces a dark, fragrant resin as a defense mechanism. This resinous wood is then processed into Oudh, which has been treasured for centuries in perfumery, incense, and traditional medicine.

Fragrance Profile: Oudh has a rich, complex, and intense scent profile. Its aroma can range from sweet, warm, and woody to leathery, smoky, and earthy. The depth and nuances of its scent are influenced by factors such as the origin of the wood and the processing methods used. It often carries a deep, balsamic, and slightly animalic note that adds to its luxury appeal.

Cultural and Historical Significance: Oudh is particularly valued in Middle Eastern, South Asian, and Southeast Asian cultures. It has been used for centuries in religious rituals, perfumery, and traditional healing practices. In Islamic culture, it is often burned as incense and is mentioned in historical texts. 

Forms and Uses: Oudh is typically available in forms such as pure oil (known as "dehn al oudh"), wood chips, or blended into high-end perfumes. It is considered one of the most expensive raw fragrance materials due to the rarity and labor-intensive extraction process.

Symbol of Luxury: Because of its rarity and complex scent profile, Oudh is often used in luxury perfumery, where even small amounts are blended to create perfumes with depth, longevity, and a touch of opulence.
