Understanding Oud Perfumes

What is oud fragrance? Oud comes from infected agarwood trees that produce dark, fragrant resin. This resin creates one of the world's most expensive and sought-after perfume ingredients, prized for its deep, woody, slightly sweet aroma.

How long does oud perfume last? Pure oud oil can last 12-24 hours on skin. Oud-based perfumes typically last 8-12 hours. The rich, heavy nature of oud means it clings to skin and clothes remarkably well.

Is oud too strong for UK weather? Oud works beautifully in cooler UK weather. The rich warmth suits autumn and winter perfectly. For summer, choose lighter oud blends mixed with citrus or fresh notes.

Which oud perfume is best for beginners? Start with oud blends rather than pure oud oil. Ard Al Zaafaran's Dirham Oud offers an accessible introduction, while Lattafa's oud-based perfumes provide modern takes on traditional scents.

How do you wear oud perfume? Use sparingly - one drop of oil or 1-2 sprays of oud perfume. Apply to pulse points for evening wear and special occasions.
