Selection
We buy oud in small lots and smell every batch on a hot plate before it enters the house. Cambodian lots read sweeter; Indian lots read deeper and more fermented.

The ingredient
Oud is resin formed inside aquilaria wood. We do not treat it as one material: sprays, dahn al oud oils and bakhoor each ask for a different way of wearing them.

Chips are soaked in our own rose, amber and honey blends, then turned by hand so the liquid reaches the core of the wood rather than only the surface.
03
Sprays rest in glass for several weeks before bottling. Resting is what removes the alcohol bite and lets the smoke settle into the amber base.
04
Two sprays on clothing, one on skin. For dahn al oud, a single drop on the wrist is enough — the oil grows warmer, not louder, through the day.
