OUD (AGARWOOD)

Oud, also known as Agarwood, has a rich history that dates back thousands of years. Revered in various cultures, especially in the Middle East and Asia, it is often referred to as "liquid gold" due to its rarity and the complex process involved in its formation. Oud is extracted from the heartwood of Aquilaria trees, which become infected with a particular type of mold, producing the fragrant resin.

At Balad Perfume, we offer a variety of Oud fragrances, each sourced from different regions renowned for their unique aromatic profiles:

• Indian Oud(Assam): Known for its deep, woody, and earthy aroma, Indian Oud is considered one of the most traditional and potent types of Oud. It has a rich, spicy scent with a slightly sweet undertone, making it a favorite for those seeking a bold and intense fragrance.
• Cambodian Oud: This type of Oud is characterized by its sweet, woody, and slightly fruity aroma. Cambodian Oud is softer and more mellow compared to Indian Oud, making it perfect for those who prefer a more balanced and versatile scent.
• Malaysian Oud: Malaysian Oud offers a rich, sweet, and woody fragrance with a hint of spice. It is known for its smooth and luxurious scent profile, making it a popular choice for both everyday wear and special occasions.
