Laotian Oud

About

Laotian oud is agarwood from Laos, prized for a smoother, fruit-forward profile: dark plum and blackberry jam over honeyed balsams, polished woods, and gentle incense smoke, with hints of leather, cocoa, and damp earth. Compared with Hindi-style ouds, it is less barnyard and more vinous, resinous, and sweetly balsamic. In perfumery it serves as a luxurious base note used sparingly to impart depth, mystery, and longevity, beautifully anchoring rose, saffron, amber, incense, and spice accords. It enriches woody, amber, and floral-oud compositions with a velvety, smoky-fruity glow.
