Oriental & Oud — Essent Perfumes collection banner

Oriental & Oud

Oud is the resinous heartwood of the agarwood tree, and it is the heaviest material in perfumery. The oriental family builds around it with amber, resin, spice and mukhallat blending. These are the deepest and longest fragrances in the Essent range, in alcohol-free 8ml roll-ons and eau de parfum. Notes and wear time are published on each product page. Oud rewards a light hand, and the guide to Indian attar notes sets out what oud, shamama and kesar smell like and how much to use.

Concentrated attar oil being decanted from a glass vial

Why attar?

An oil outlasts a spray.

An alcohol spray pushes scent outward fast, then fades. An attar is the oil on its own, with no ethanol, so it stays where you put it and unfolds over hours instead of minutes. That is why a small roll-on outlasts a much larger bottle of eau de toilette.

About the Oriental & Oud collection

Oud and amber are perfumery's oldest luxuries: resinous, warm and unhurried. Essent blends them at attar strength, where this family has always lived.
