Oud, or Agarwood, is a resin produced by Aquilaria trees in response to a parasitic attack by Phaeoacremonium parasitica. It has a rich, intense aroma with woody, resinous, warm, and slightly smoky notes, often with animalic and complex undertones that are both aphrodisiacal and hypnotic.
In "Oud Patchouli" by Alyssa Ashley, this resinous character is complemented by saffron and spicy notes, a sandalwood-like woody aspect, and enhanced earthy facets. The result is a fragrance with a strong personality, marked by its persistent, spicy, woody, and warm qualities. The perfect companion for moments where extreme elegance is required.
