Perfume Oil of Oud

• Raw oud, which is wood from the oud tree, is used as incense and its oil, called dehn al-oud, is used as a perfume. Oud takes 300 years to form in the trunks of trees contaminated by a certain bacteria. Since the oud tree is not grown anywhere except in limited parts of Asia, the price of the wood and its oil extracts has remained high.

• Saudi Arabia is the principle importer of Oud but the oil is prized throughout south Asia. Oud is also used as part of the celebrations following Ramadan and the Hajj. During Ramadan (the Muslim holy month of fasting), some Saudi families burn oud each night after breaking their fast and washing, and before going to the mosque to perform the evening prayers.

• Please be advised - this is pure Oud, most commercially offered Oud Perfume is mixed with another attar, i.e. amber, red musk.  This Oud is pure, it is uncut, it is NOT mixed.
