Oud

Oud is an intense, rich fragrance note with deep woody, smoky, and slightly animalic nuances. Derived from agarwood, it evokes mystery, luxury, and oriental opulence. Warm and complex, it adds depth, longevity, and a powerful, resinous character to both traditional and modern perfume compositions.

Chemistry and Molecular Structure

The scent of oud is defined by a complex composition of sesquiterpenes, chromones, and aromatic compounds such as agarospirol and jinkoh-eremol. These molecules create its deep, woody, smoky, and slightly animalic profile. Their structure contributes to its richness, longevity, and the evolving complexity characteristic of oud in perfumery.
