What is Oud Made Of?
Oud is a resinous treasure from Aquilaria trees. It forms when the tree is infected by a mold and secretes a fragrant resin that becomes the heart of many premium blends. If you’re wondering what is oud made of, the short answer is resin plus essential oils that transform into a complex, long-lasting scent. It’s a material that changes with origin, age, and how the resin matures. Oud perfumes are rarely pure; they’re typically blended with amber, vanilla, saffron, rose, leather, and citrus to shape the final fragrance. The exact aroma depends on the tree’s origin and how the resin was processed. Explore our Oud Collection for true resin-based scents, or our Amber Collection for warm companions to oud. Oud Collection and Amber Collection offer a range of this resinous profile.Oud (also called agarwood) is not ordinary wood: it’s the resinous, dark heartwood of Aquilaria trees that forms when the tree is attacked by a specific mold, producing the fragrant material used in perfumes and incense.
