One of the most frequently asked questions we get here at Fragrance Familia from interested shoppers is, "What does Oud smell like?" Boy, do we wish we could have you smell it through your computer screen! We'll try our best to describe the beauty that is Oud through text until that technology is invented.
Oud, also known as agarwood, is a highly prized fragrance note with a complex and intensely rich aroma. It often carries a deep, woody scent that is both sweet and smoky, creating a uniquely luxurious fragrance profile. Many describe Oud as having hints of leather and spices, adding to its warm and enveloping character. Its scent can also be somewhat animalic or musky, contributing to its exotic and mysterious allure. Oud's distinctive and long-lasting nature makes it a sought-after ingredient in many high-end perfumes, beloved for its depth and sophistication.
So, yes, Oud is good - most definitely so. Time to explore the best Oud fragrance we carry?
