Oud/Agarwood (Silver)
Oud, or agarwood, referred to as "Silver Oud" is distinguished by its smooth, balanced, and slightly sweet aroma with subtle earthy and woody nuances. This refined variety of oud carries a lighter, more metallic undertone compared to traditional oud, creating a sophisticated and modern olfactory experience. Silver Oud brings depth and richness to perfumes without overpowering, making it an excellent base note that blends seamlessly with florals, spices, and resins, adding an air of elegance and mystique.
History & Production: Silver Oud, like traditional agarwood, is derived from the resin of the Aquilaria tree when it becomes infected by a specific type of mold. This natural defense mechanism produces the precious, dark resin that forms oud. Silver Oud is known for its unique resin quality and is harvested with careful attention to ensure the desired balance of smooth, woody, and subtly sweet characteristics. The process involves a meticulous distillation of the resin-rich heartwood to produce the essential oil. Due to the limited availability and intricate extraction, Silver Oud remains a prized and luxurious ingredient in high-end perfumery, celebrated for its refined and elegant profile.
