Collection: Oud Perfumes

Oud comes from Aquilaria trees infected with a specific mould. Moreover, only about 2% of these trees produce it naturally. Genuine oud wood sells for thousands of euros per kilogram. That makes it one of the most expensive raw materials in perfumery. However, most oud in modern compositions is synthetic. Oud accords built in a laboratory can smell convincing, rich, and long-lasting without the extreme cost. Furthermore, at our price points, that is what you should expect. We do not pretend otherwise. Consequently, what our oud perfumes deliver is the character smoky, woody, sacred, sometimes animalic at prices that make daily wear possible. Some compositions lean approachable for first-time oud wearers. Others will challenge Western noses with raw, dark intensity. As a result, we recommend starting with lighter oud blends before moving deeper. Explore our oud perfumes at ZAOUD and find your entry point.
