Indonesia Red Soil Oud

 印尼红土沉香

Origin: Indonesia

Pungent and still fresh, the top notes of this oud are forested and complex. The deep sweetness of the resinous agarwood comes after, supporting its utopic canopy of aroma from below. We notice the quality of this incense in its vivid dimensionality.

Oud, sometimes called agarwood or aloeswood, is a very distinctive type of incense with a unique sweetness and complexity. Unlike incense like sandalwood, oud is not actually made from wood. Rather, oud is a resin, specifically produced by varietals of the Aquilaria species of trees native to Asia. These trees release resin when they are damaged by natural factors such as lightning, fire, or insect infestation. The formation of these special, aromatic resins happens very slowly, and can take decades. For many reasons, oud is regarded as one of the most valued substances in the world and can command a very high price. 

The scent of burning oud is transportive, clarifying to the senses, and extremely relaxing. It is thus a great accompaniment to any of our teas, and if you’ve been to our shop, you’ve likely unknowingly already met it.
