Malayan Oud

Malayan oud, also known as agarwood, hails from the rainforests of Malaysia and is renowned for its deep, complex fragrance profile. This type of oud is derived from the Aquilaria tree, which when infected with a specific type of mold, produces a rich, dark resin. Malayan oud's scent is highly prized for its distinctively rich and aromatic characteristics.

The scent profile of Malayan oud is multifaceted, often described as a warm, woody base with notes of leather, spices, and a hint of smokiness. It may also exhibit softer, balsamic qualities, layered with richer, earthy notes that evoke the dense, moist earth of a forest floor. Some describe it as having a slightly sweet or even fruity edge that lightens its heavier base notes. Unique among ouds for its robust and slightly animalistic undertones, Malayan oud's fragrance is both intoxicating and soothing, capable of conveying a sense of ancient, natural luxury.

Due to its rich olfactory depth, Malayan oud is often used in high-end perfumery, either as the star ingredient or as a complementary note to add richness and sophistication to a fragrance blend. Its versatility and alluring character make it highly sought after for both personal fragrance and in aromatic products like incense and room sprays.
