Oudh or Agarwood is a dark resinous heartwood that is formed in Aquilaria and Gyrinops trees when infected by a type of mould.

As the infection progresses the tree produces a dark aromatic resin. The aroma is complex and pleasing with very few similar articles in nature.

Dehn Al Oudh refers to the oil extracted from the wood via hydro-distillation. By weight it can be worth more than gold and has has been referred to as "liquid gold".

Oudh or the agarwood from where it is extracted may be burned directly as incense and used to scent one's home.

As with any natural product, Oudh will vary according to region, quality, rarity and the age of the wood/oil and many other factors. Hence a signifiant variation in prices.

Attar or عطار (Arabic) is a perfume oil derived from botanical sources through distillation.

Attars may contain a variety of exotic woods and flowers such as sandalwood, damask rose, jasmine, pink lotus and many others.

Mukhallat is the Arabic name for mix.

It involves a mix of different essential oils, such as Oudh, Amber and Rose.

It can be difficult to blend a Mukhallat successfully and requires an expert perfumer to successfully craft one. The balance of the quantity and quality of the individual ingredients is very important and crucial to the blend.

At The Attar Store we use grams to weigh all our products for more accuracy. This may be a little confusing for those unacquainted with this.

Oudh oil is complex and is usually lighter than water but may be heavier in certain circumstances.

We sell our oils in 0.2 gram, 1 gram, 1.5 gram and 2.5 gram bottle sizes.

0.2 gram = 0.2 ml approximately.

1 gram = 1 ml approximately.

1.5 gram = 1.5 ml approximately.

2.5 gram = 2.5 ml approximately.

Oudh Wood is also sold in grams, and while this can be difficult to estimate and picture we do try to display where possible how much a certain quantity of wood looks like.
