Arabic Oud

Arabian perfumes are known for their unique scents and rich history, and are made with natural ingredients and oils:

Ingredients
Arabian perfumes often contain oud, a resinous oil extracted from the heartwood of an infected aquilaria tree. Other common ingredients include musk, amber, sandalwood, and frankincense.

Origins
The Arab world has a long history of using fragrant substances, including resins, flowers, spices, incense, and ambergris. The cradle of oriental perfumery is located around Arabia Felix, between Turkey and India.

Alcohol-free
Elite Arabian perfumes are often made without alcohol, and instead use natural oils.

Durability
Arabian perfumes are known for being more durable than alcohol-based perfumes.

Cultural significance
Arabian fragrances are more than just a blend of ingredients, they are part of Arabian culture and can become part of a person’s character.

Oud’s value
The highest quality oud fragrance oil can cost thousands of dollars per pound. It’s often called “liquid gold” because of its rarity, high demand, and difficulty harvesting.
