Where Does Fragrance Come From?
It is derived from the heartwood of the agarwood tree, found mainly in Southeast Asian countries such as India, Vietnam, and Indonesia. When the tree produces its rare resin, it develops a deep, complex aroma that is instantly recognisable.
For centuries, oud has been part of religious rituals, festive events, and everyday life throughout the Arab world too. In the UAE, it is part of the cultural identity, as it has been incorporated in homes, and as the ultimate perfumes in special occasions. Meanwhile, now Oud scent is part of the skincare products as well.
