WHAT DOES THE WORD OUD MEAN? Perfumy arabskie Warszawa.

Oud, also known as agarwood, takes its name from the Arabic "al-oud," meaning "wood." It is extracted from the Aquilaria tree, native to Southeast Asia. This wood is prized for its rich, woody fragrance. Its use dates back thousands of years as a precious ingredient in perfumery and traditional culture.

THE HISTORY. Perfumy Arabskie Warszawa, Galeria Mokotów, Arkadia, Fabryka Norblina.

The history of oud dates back to ancient times. It was burned during religious ceremonies and for medicinal purposes. The wood was burned as incense, and the smoke was inhaled to treat a variety of physical and spiritual ailments. It was only later that oud was used in perfumery to add a deep, rich base note to fragrances. It was also used as a fixative, to make other scents last longer. In the modern era, oud has become increasingly popular among perfume enthusiasts and luxury houses. Its rise is linked to the growing interest in the Orient and exoticism during this period, as well as the rise of perfumery in the Middle East and Asia.

But where does oud come from? Oud is derived from the resinous heartwood of the Aquilaria tree, native to Southeast Asia. When the tree is infected with a certain type of mold, it produces a resinous substance rich in aromatic compounds. This resin, which is harvested, is transformed into oud.

OUD CULTURE. Perfumy Arabskie Warszawa, Galeria Mokotów, Arkadia, Fabryka Norblina.

The main oud-producing regions are Southeast Asia, including Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Oud is also produced in Laos, Thailand, India, and Bangladesh. These regions are home to the Aquilaria tree, whose wood is used to extract precious oud, prized worldwide for its unique fragrant notes and its use in luxury perfumery.

The process of planting agarwood is not unlike that of other trees. Seeds are sown in fertile soil and given time to germinate. Once the seedlings are large enough, they are permanently planted in a plantation. Agarwood trees can grow up to 40 meters tall. Once the trees have matured, the oud production process can begin. Curious? The goal is to create an infection in the tree, usually through a wound or incision. The tree will then produce resin as a natural defense mechanism against infection. This resin is then used to create the oud essence.

The first step in harvesting is to identify the Aquilaria tree that produced oud, as not all of them do. Therefore, it is essential to find those infected with these fungi. Once identified, the harvesting process begins. The most common method is to collect the resin in small bamboo baskets and let it dry in the sun for several days.
