White Oud Essential Oil

White Oud is distinguished by its clarity and restraint. The aroma opens with dry, pale woods and subtle resin, unfolding into a smooth, slightly smoky warmth with gentle animalic undertones. Compared to traditional agarwood oils, it is less heavy and less dark, favouring a meditative, mineral-woody character that feels contemplative rather than opulent.

White Oud functions as a heart-to-base note, lending structure and sophistication without overwhelming a composition.

Recommended concentration:
Fine fragrance: 0.1–2%

Blends beautifully with:
Sandalwood, cedarwood, hinoki
Frankincense and other soft resins
Rose and jasmine for contrast
Musks and amber accords

Suitable for non-perfumery applications including incense-style home fragrance, luxury candles, and grounding body oils when properly diluted

It excels in minimalist, woody, and spiritual compositions where subtlety and refinement are key.
