what is oud perfume

Oud perfume is a fragrance that contains oud, a rare and expensive ingredient that comes from the heartwood of aquilaria trees. Oud is produced when the trees are damaged by external and environmental forces, and the resin it produces to protect its core is what makes the heartwood into oud over time. Oud is typically described as warm, intense, earthy, and sensual. It is a woody note that has been used for centuries for medicinal and spiritual purposes. Oud-based perfumes for men and women are now attracting customers from around the world. Oud is one of the most expensive raw materials in the world, and it takes hundreds of years to produce the resin. Due to over-harvesting and habitat loss, the aquilaria tree is now considered a threatened species.
