Oud, also known as Agarwood or Aloeswood, is a highly prized and rare resinous wood that has been used for centuries in various cultures across the world. The wood comes from the Aquilaria tree, which is native to Southeast Asia, and is produced when the tree becomes infected with a type of mold. This infection leads to the formation of a dark, resinous heartwood that is highly aromatic and has a distinct, musky scent.

Oud Wood has a rich heritage and has been used for centuries in traditional medicines, religious ceremonies, and perfumery. It has been valued for its healing properties, with practitioners using it to treat various ailments such as headaches, rheumatism, and digestive issues.
