Note Guides
The note that divides a room — here's what's actually going on in the bottle.
Real oud is resin from infected agarwood trees — rare, expensive, and nothing like the synthetic version most perfumes use today.
Smoky, leathery, sometimes barnyard-funky — oud is polarizing because it's genuinely unlike anything else in the note library.
Look for oud blended with rose or saffron — it softens the edge without losing what makes it interesting.
