Bask in the dusky allure of Oud Tonka, where darkness and mystery entwine with a dry, smoky, musky essence. Animalistic and sensual, it carries a smokey melancholic beauty that stirs the soul. Initially, faint whispers of sweet, herbaceous undertones tease the senses before surrendering to its deeper, more provocative layers.
Notes: A rich tapestry of spice, wood, amber, and leather.
WHAT IS OUD?
Known as “black gold” in the Middle East and the Gulf, the Oud is extracted from the subtropical Aquilaria tree. This evergreen agar is found in northeast India, Bangladesh, and Southeast Asia.
When a damaged section of the tree becomes infected with a mold called Phialophora parasitica, it produces a thick, dark substance to protect itself. This precious black and fragrant resin, later found in the heartwood of agar, is the origin of oud.
