Natural Qualities:
Oud is an extremely rare and precious oil that originates in
North Eastern India, Bhutan and parts of South East Asia,
especially Vietnam and Cambodia. Oudh or Oud has a very long
history of use as a medicine, incense and as an aromatic oil. In
the Bible it is known as aloes or aloeswood.
Oudh or Oud is a very complex, deep woody fragrance, reminiscent
of amber. Susanne Fischer–Rice, in her book, ‘The Complete
Incense Book’, explains: “Oudh or Oud has a balsamic, ambergris,
woody, deep fragrance. To experience the many nuances of this
unique substance is like a journey on the road to spiritual
perfection”. It is highly prized as an incense in Japan and as
an oil in the Middle East. Because Oudh or Oud is so rare, and
so highly valued in Japan and the Middle East (where most of it
ends up), it is little known in the West. But Oudh or Oud is
truly amazing, and should be experienced by any connoisseur of
essential oils. You only need to use a tiny amount of Oudh or
Oud at a time; be prepared for the slow release of its aroma
over the next 8 hours
