Oud is an intensely fragrant oil extracted from tree resin. In perfumery, it is often used as a base note – 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.
Oud has been popular in this region for centuries, but in recent years it has also become one of the most popular notes in fragrances for men. Fashion houses and fragrance designers have incorporated the Middle Eastern staple into many of their leading lines and even created some specifically with our region in mind. Here are our recommendations for oud-scented fragrances that encapsulate the classic regional note.
