por qué is oud so expensive?

Natural oud is one of the rarest raw materials on earth. Only a small percentage of aquilaria trees develop the resinous heartwood, y the process takes years. High-quality oud oil can cost more per gram than gold. Our fragancias use carefully sourced oud to deliver auténtico character at accessible prices.

Does oud smell the same on everyone?

No. oud interacts strongly con body chemistry. The same fragancia can smell smokier on one person y sweeter on another. This is por qué sampling is important. para testing advice, Lee our guía on finding your aroma característico.
