Oudh Essential oil
Oudh, also spelled Oud or Agarwood oil, is a rare and highly valued fragrant oil extracted from the resinous heartwood of the Aquilaria tree.
When the tree becomes naturally infected with a specific mold, it produces a dark aromatic resin. That resin-rich wood is distilled to make oud oil.
It has been used for centuries in the India, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia for perfumes, meditation, spiritual rituals, and traditional wellness practices.
