Oud 101: Discovering the World’s Most Precious Scent
Share
Oud is often called liquid gold in perfumery. It is rich, mysterious, and deeply loved across the world. In this guide we explore what oud is, why it is so valued, and how you can experience its magic through Amir Scent Bar perfumes.
What is Oud
Oud is a rare and precious oil that comes from the heartwood of the agar tree. When the tree becomes infected with a natural resin, it produces this dark and fragrant substance. The result is a scent that is earthy, woody, smoky, and sweet all at once. It is complex and unforgettable, which is why it has been treasured for centuries in the Middle East and beyond.
Why Oud is So Valued
Oud is rare because only a small number of agar trees produce it, and the process takes many years. This scarcity makes it one of the most expensive natural raw materials in the world. Oud perfumes are seen as a mark of elegance and refinement, chosen by those who want a fragrance that feels both timeless and distinctive.
The Character of Oud
What makes oud fascinating is how it blends with other notes. By itself it is deep and resinous. When paired with amber, musk, or floral notes, it transforms into new layers of beauty. At Amir Scent Bar you will find oud expressed in many different ways, from bold and powerful to soft and inviting.
