What is Oud Perfume?

 

Usually, attars are scented oil or absolutes that come from natural sources. Such essential oils are generally derived using steam or hydrodistillation. Attars are theoretical extracts of flora and fauna from nature.

Essential oils can be refined and grown old in a wooden base, such as sandalwood. Depending on the exposure source materials used and the expected outcomes, the macerating period can range from one year to ten years.

Attars are concentrated solution perfumes that are free of alcohol and synthetic compounds.

Oud Perfume: Advanced Perfumery Applications

Even in today's modern era of complex fragrance formulations, there is a great interest and prominence in oud perfumes. Oud is distinct and rich in fragrance facets. It's soft, smoky, and spicy but charming, with hints of dampened wood.

Due to the increasing prominence and market range, numerous designer fragrances have opened their oud variance. However, most are made of synthetic molecules known as "white oud."

Natural Oud is hardly ever used in perfumery in the present era. Natural Oud cannot be used in mass-market perfumery due to over-harvesting and the laborious process of gathering raw material. Most perfumes on the market use synthetic ingredients to mimic the natural oud scent. 

According to Vir Sanghvi, Firmenich's Oud Synthetic 10760E is used in most mass-market oud fragrances. Givaudan also produces its synthetic Oud. According to Elena Vosnaki, Tom Ford's Oud Wood is manufactured with Givaudan's Agarwood Arpur. The same synthetic is found in Bond No. 9 New York Oud.

 

As mentioned above very few natural perfumers make use of genuine oud essential oils. Pure oud attars are not available as mass-produced perfumes as they are among the world's most beautiful raw ingredients. Pure oud perfumes have been marketed in a local and personal market formed solely by natural perfumers who use only organic ingredients and adhere to strict ethical standards. Also the price is a major factor as well, pure oud oil is very expensive and if used in perfumes, the ultimate price will be out of reach for many.

When included in natural perfume formation, Oud works as a treat either alone or in combination with other natural ingredients. Because of its rich, heavy, and long-lasting properties, it is most commonly used as a base note and improves the fragrance of other ingredients.

 

The elegant and complicated scent of Oud is fascinating and rare. It is unquestionably a precious gift of nature capable of evoking a sense of highness, extravagance, and supreme luxury.

However, this is where it gets interesting. In the UK market, due to certain brands selling perfume oils as oud perfumes, there seems to be a little confusion, the word perfume oils has been replaced with oud perfume even though the oud perfume may not contain any real or synthetic oud, so when people say oud perfume they actually mean an alcohol free version of a perfume in an oil form.
