Collection: Oud Perfumes
Oud perfumes also known as BLACK GOLD, hold a unique position in the fragrance world. They're often described as intense, complex, and even polarizing, captivating some with their rich aroma and leaving others bewildered. The star of the show, oud has a complex aroma profile. It can be woody, sweet, animalic, smoky, balsamic, and even medicinal. Different regions produce ouds with varying characteristics, adding further nuance.
A little goes a long way. Oud perfumes boast impressive longevity, gracing your skin for hours, and sometimes days. Their projection can be strong, so mindful application is key. As mentioned, oud's complexity isn't always readily embraced. Be prepared for an unconventional fragrance experience that might challenge your olfactory expectations.
Oud is a precious and expensive ingredient, which reflects in the price of these perfumes.

Questions you might have...
What's the difference between Eau de Parfum (EDP) and Eau de Cologne (EDC)?
Eau de Parfum (EDP) and Eau de Cologne (EDC) differ primarily in the concentration of their fragrance oils.
- Eau de Parfum (EDP): Contains a higher concentration of fragrance oils (around 15-20%). This results in a more intense and longer-lasting scent, often persisting on the skin for 6-8 hours.
- Eau de Cologne (EDC): Has a significantly lower concentration of fragrance oils (usually 2-4%). This creates a lighter, fresher scent that tends to fade within a few hours.
Which one should I choose?
- If you prefer a stronger, more noticeable fragrance that lasts longer, Eau de Parfum (EDP) is a better choice.
- If you want a light, refreshing scent, especially for warmer weather, then Eau de Cologne (EDC) is a good option.
How do I choose the right perfume for myself or as a gift?
Selecting the perfect perfume takes some consideration, whether it's for you or a loved one. Here's a guide to help you choose:
Choosing a Perfume for Yourself
- Understand Your Preferences: Think about the types of scents you usually enjoy (floral, citrusy, warm, etc.). Do you like bold and noticeable scents or softer, more subtle ones?
- Occasion: Consider when you'll wear the fragrance. Special occasions might call for a bolder scent, while work or everyday wear might suit something lighter.
- Know the Fragrance Families: Learning about fragrance families (floral, woody, oriental, etc.) helps you narrow your search.
- Test on Skin: Always test perfumes on your own skin, as scent reacts differently from person to person.
- Seasons: Lighter scents often suit spring and summer, while warmer scents are lovely for colder months.
Choosing a Perfume as a Gift
- Observe Their Style: Think about the recipient's personality and how they usually dress. Do they prefer classic elegance or something more modern and edgy?
- Notice Their Current Fragrance: If possible, check what perfumes they already use to get insights into their preferred scent families.
- Avoid Overly Strong Scents: Unless you're sure they love bold fragrances, a lighter or more versatile perfume is a safer gift option.
- Consider Allergies: If unsure, opt for hypoallergenic or fragrance-free selections.

How long does a bottle of perfume last once opened?
While unopened perfumes can last for years, an opened bottle has a reduced shelf life. Generally, you can expect most fragrances to last between 3-5 years after opening. However, these factors significantly affect a perfume's longevity:
- Storage: Keep perfume away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and humidity. A cool, dark place like a drawer or closet is ideal.
- Ingredients: Perfumes with heavier base notes (like musk, amber) tend to last longer than those with primarily light, citrusy, or floral notes.
- Oxygen Exposure: Minimize how often you open the bottle and replace the cap securely after each use to limit oxidation.
- Bottle type: Spray bottles generally preserve perfume better than splash bottles due to reduced air exposure.
Signs of Expiration:
- Changes in Scent: A significantly altered smell, especially any sour or metallic notes, indicates that your perfume has likely turned.
- Color Changes: Darkening or discoloration can signal oxidation and altered fragrance composition.
Tips for extending your perfume's lifespan:
- Buy smaller bottles if you don't use perfume frequently.
- Consider decanting into smaller travel-sized spray bottles.
What is OUD Bakhoor?
Oud bakhoor is a traditional Middle Eastern incense made from oud (agarwood) chips or powder. Oud is a precious, highly fragrant resin formed in Aquilaria trees. The wood is infused with essential oils and other aromatic ingredients to create unique bakhoor blends. When burned, oud bakhoor releases a rich, complex, and long-lasting fragrance that is prized for its cultural and spiritual significance.
