Oud Perfume

Oud is the deepest note in Arabian perfumery: resinous, smoky, and built to hold through the heat. Browse eau de parfum and concentrated oils built around agarwood, from Lattafa, Maison Alhambra, Arabian Oud and more. Delivered across the UAE.

Choosing an oud perfume

Oud, or agarwood, is the backbone of Gulf perfumery. It is one of the few materials that holds its shape in heat, which is why it runs through so much of what is worn here rather than the light citrus openings common in European releases.

The two ways oud is sold

Concentrated oil is applied by roll-on or dab to pulse points. A little goes a long way and it stays close to the skin. Eau de parfum carries oud in an alcohol base, projects further and covers more ground in a single application.

Which oud suits you

  • Rose and saffron oud: warmer and softer, widely worn by both men and women
  • Leather, tobacco or smoky oud: heavier, better after sunset and in cooler months
  • Vanilla or amber oud: sweeter and easier to wear day to day

Oud is the resin that forms inside agarwood trees. It is distilled into oil or used as a note in eau de parfum, and gives a deep, woody, slightly smoky scent that lingers on the skin.

Is oud for men or women?
