To create an Oud fragrance, different ingredients must be combined to obtain the distinctive scent characteristic of Oud. Here are the most commonly used ingredients to create an Oud fragrance: Oud: This is the base of all Oud fragrances and its most important ingredient. Oud is a precious wood obtained from an agar tree that grows in Southeast Asia. It has a woody, spicy, and slightly smoky scent. Rose: Rose is often used to soften the scent of Oud. It brings a touch of sweetness and femininity to the fragrance. Spices: Spices such as cardamom, cinnamon, and black pepper can be added to provide a touch of spice and warmth to the fragrance. Sandalwood: Sandalwood adds a note of soft and creamy wood to the fragrance. It is often used to soften the strong scent of Oud. Amber: Amber adds a touch of warmth and sweetness to the fragrance, as well as a vanilla note. Tonka beans: Tonka beans bring a touch of sweetness and vanilla to the fragrance. Musk: Musk is often used to give some body and intensity to the fragrance. The combination of these ingredients must be carefully balanced to achieve a harmonious and pleasant Oud fragrance. It is also important to choose high-quality ingredients to obtain a long-lasting and durable fragrance. Carole Poinsot
