oud

Oud smells like an old leather couch in a damp room, and that is, somehow, exactly the point. Resinous, animal, slightly medicinal. Real oud is one of the most expensive ingredients in perfumery, so most "oud" fragrances are synthetic accords that lean cleaner and sweeter than the actual oil.

Also known as: agarwood, oudh, agar, aoud
