Oud is one of the most exquisite and expensive ingredients. It is extracted from the wood of chosen Southeast Asian agar trees when they start producing a resin. It goes through a complex process of separating that oil from water, often manually, and thus it’s also called liquid gold. Its rarity makes it exclusive and therefore, it’s regarded as one of the most sought-after ingredients in the beauty industry, especially in fragrances. Known for its lasting and strong aroma, there’s no way that your fragrance wardrobe is complete without an Oud fragrance. Here are six oud perfumes you can invest in:
