16 White Oudh - Oud (in Arabic, Oudh) is valued strongly by perfumers for its warm sweetness mixed with woody and balsamic notes. It's an aromatic and complex scent. It is used as oud oil (dehn al oud) or resin (oud mubakhar). Oud is often a base note when used in a perfume composition. Unlike top and middle notes, essential in every perfume, base notes tend to stay on the skin long after the others dissipate. Its woody smell is rich in nuances, ranging from sweet to earthy, with some notes of leather and spices. It depends on the tree species that produces the resin and the technique used for extraction. Oud comes from the wood of the tropical Agar (Aquilaria) tree, a genus that includes 15 different species. The tree is believed to have originated in the Assam region of India and, from there, spread to populate Bangladesh and much of Southeast Asia.
