Bask in the dusty, dark, dry, smoky, musky, animal, sensual, sexual and melancholy of Oud Tonka. Oud Tonka has subtle sweet herbaceous undertones that are barely noticeable at first before the deeper notes emerge.
Notes: Spicy, Woodsy, Amber and Leather
WHAT IS OUD?
Known as “black gold” in the Middle East and the Gulf, the Oud is extracted from the subtropical Aquilaria tree. This evergreen agar is found in northeast India, Bangladesh, and Southeast Asia.
When a damaged section of the tree becomes infected with a mold called Phialophora parasitica, it produces a thick, dark substance to protect itself. This precious black and fragrant resin, later found in the heartwood of agar, is the origin of oud.
