The Art of Oud: From Tree to Bottle

May 04, 2026 • 06:53 PM

Journey into the heart of the oud forests, where centuries of tradition yield one of the world's most precious perfume ingredients. From the ancient agarwood trees of Assam and Cambodia, every drop of oud oil tells a story of patience, craft, and nature's most intoxicating gift. The harvesting of oud is an art guarded by generations. Only when certain species of aquilaria trees become infected with a specific type of mould does the heartwood darken and produce the precious resin — a process that can take decades. At Maison Elizabeth, we source our oud exclusively from certified sustainable plantations, ensuring that each precious resin is harvested with respect for both the tradition and the future.
