Those who love perfumes can't stop talking about the oud perfumes for their captivating scent. It is one of the most expensive perfume ingredients, sourced from the Argo wood that comes from the genus family of Aqualaria. The plant is harvested mainly in South Asia for a variety of medicinal, religious, and perfumery reasons. The scent is rich, intense, musky, and woody, which develops after being infected with a parasite. It is a multi-faceted, complex, sweet, and interesting scent that is widely loved and coveted, and if you are looking to invest in a good oud perfume, then here are our nine best picks that you can blindly put your money in.
