Oud literally translates to wood. Its etymology is a nod to the way the substance is made. In its purest form, oud is a natural resin extracted from the heartwood of the aquilaria tree native to South East Asia, found particularly in the rainforests of Bangladesh, Indonesia and Thailand. Its signature depth and rich animalic aroma provide a sensual, woody dry down. With its earthy notes and intriguing character, oud perfumes are synonymous with seduction.
It is also a good scent for your Bodhi mala while wearing it to allow a deep sense of healing and prevents the bodhi seeds from cracking.
