Attars & Oudh

Oudh — agarwood — is the most prized material in perfumery, and the resin this coast has traded for centuries. It sits low in a composition and lasts, which is why perfumers reach for it when they want depth rather than brightness.

Alcohol-free attars are the oldest way to wear fragrance: worn in small quantities close to the skin, opening slowly over hours. Read understanding oudh, or attars, perfume oils and eau de parfum explained.
