The Oud accord stands as the crown jewel of perfumery — revered for its depth, mystery, and unmistakable character. Derived from the heartwood of the Aquilaria tree, which produces a precious resin known as agarwood, natural oud is among the most valuable raw materials in the world. The accord inspired by it captures this sacred richness, blending woody, smoky, leathery, and slightly sweet facets into a scent that is both ancient and modern, powerful yet refined.
Perfumers construct the oud accord using synthetic oud molecules or blends of cypriol, patchouli, guaiac wood, amber, and leather to recreate the complexity of natural agarwood. Its aroma profile shifts between earthy and resinous, animalic and balsamic, depending on how it’s paired — from the golden warmth of amber to the floral elegance of rose, or the spicy fire of saffron.
The Oud accord lies at the heart of Arabian and Oriental perfumery, embodying tradition, luxury, and spiritual depth. It enriches a composition with commanding presence and lasting power, often serving as the base note that anchors a fragrance with gravity and grace. Its smoky sweetness and velvety texture lend it an aura of quiet dominance — the scent of elegance worn with conviction.
Emotionally, the Oud accord evokes strength, reverence, and sensual mystique. It carries the scent of incense-filled chambers, polished woods, and sacred rituals - timeless and unforgettable.
In the world of fine fragrance, oud is more than a scent; it is a statement of legacy and opulence — perfumery’s most majestic signature.
