Oud, Turmeric and Saffron
$0.00
This one came about because I have been getting asked for Oud. Oud. It is fun to say. Try it! I was intrigued. Who wouldn’t be with that name. So I started checking out the resin. Ouch, it sure isn’t cheap! In my search for creating the perfect Oud I did a lot of research and learned that Oud actually comes from Agarwood that is infected with a certain type of mold which produces a resin. Sounds disgusting but it is wonderful. The resin is very aromatic. Without the mold the wood doesn’t have a smell. Pretty nifty! And can you believe that mold makes this wood worth more than gold?! Crazy! I fell in love with the smell of Oud. It is a very “masculine” scent. Very deep and rich and woody. I really love the touches of spice that the Turmeric and Saffron add to the dark woody notes. It makes it lighter without adding sweetness. Just mesmerizing!!!
