Oud, also referred to as Agarwood, is a highly fragrant resinous wood. Oud is widely used in perfumery due to its unique and exquisite scent. There are several synonyms used to describe this aromatic wood, which includes Agar, Aloeswood, Jinkoh, and Kyara. Persian and Arabic cultures refer to Oud as Oudh. The wood's pungent scent distinguishes it from other fragrances, where it brings memories of traditional mosques, Eastern bazaars and luxurious palaces. Oud's popularity has led to an increase in the demand for its alternatives, such as synthetic oud and other natural woods with similar scent profiles, such as Sandalwood.
