Agarwood and oud are often used interchangeably, but what do these terms truly represent?
While synonymous in many contexts, there are subtle nuances between the two.
Let’s delve into the world of agarwood and oud, exploring their history, characteristics, and the unparalleled luxury offered by Al Mutalib.
Agarwood is a fragrant resin produced by the Aquilaria tree when it becomes infected with a specific type of mold.
The formation of agarwood is a natural defense mechanism of the tree, and the quality and quantity of resin produced vary depending on several factors, including the tree’s age, species, and the type of infection.
Oud, on the other hand, is the Arabic term for agarwood. It has become synonymous with the fragrant resin itself, particularly in the Middle East and beyond. The term “oud” often implies a higher quality, more concentrated form of agarwood oil or wood chips.
The aroma of agarwood/oud is complex and multifaceted, often described as woody, earthy, sweet, and slightly animalic. These intricate notes have captivated perfumers and fragrance enthusiasts for centuries. The scent profile can vary significantly depending on the geographical origin, age of the tree, and processing methods.
Agarwood have deep roots in Middle Eastern and Asian cultures. Arab people have been using for centuries in religious ceremonies, aromatherapy, and as a base for luxurious perfumes.
The high demand for these precious materials has led to overharvesting and environmental concerns.
