Recalling what’s quintessentially oriental is part of Ramadan’s charm. In fact, this Holy Month gives us the chance to cherish our traditions and the treasures that nature offers us. And needless to say, agarwood is one of them. Known to be the most expensive wood in the world, it was and is still used to make high-quality perfumes.

What make this ingredient so expensive are its rarity and the intensive process of extraction that it requires. The highest quality Oud is the one that comes from trees older than 100 years. However, this doesn’t mean that the new trees don’t provide fragrances with a good scent, but what is missing is the quality, heritage and tradition.

With this in mind, we can only describe a Oud fragrance as a treasure – ideal as a gift for oneself or for a person that is so dear to your heart. Whether you choose a pure Oud fragrance or a blended one, one thing is for sure: this gift will remain timeless and will never lose its value, but to the contrary, it will become more precious!

To help you get your loved ones the perfect gift, we have gathered a list of the best Oud fragrances of all times. Check them out and pick your favorite!
