How to choose the right oud oil for you
Oud oil differs by the origin of the wood and the distillation method, which is why profiles range from light sweetness to deep smokiness. Start by naming the character you prefer: earthy Hindi oud, sweet Cambodi, or balanced Malaysian?
Test oud on your skin, not only on paper, and wait at least twenty minutes for the heart notes to open. A single dab on the wrist is enough — concentrated oud blooms with body heat.
Store your bottle away from direct sun and humidity, and close it tightly after each use so the scent holds its character for years.
