Oud: The Liquid Gold of Perfumery

Few ingredients in perfumery command the reverence of oud. Distilled from the resinous heartwood of the agar tree, oud — also known as agarwood or oudh — has been treasured across the Middle East and Asia for centuries. Its deep, smoky, and intensely warm character has earned it the name "liquid gold."

What makes oud so special?

Genuine oud is rare. The fragrant resin forms only when the agar tree responds to a particular infection, and the process can take decades. This scarcity, combined with a scent profile that is impossible to replicate synthetically, makes oud one of the most prized materials in modern perfumery.

How to wear oud

Oud is bold. A single touch to the pulse points is enough to last all day and evening. At Oudtarif, our Dehan Oud and Premium Oud celebrate this heritage with long-lasting, high-concentration compositions crafted for those who appreciate elegance.
