The Terroir
Deep in the monsoon forests of Assam, only a fraction of Aquilaria trees ever form the dark, fragrant resin known as oud — a response to time, wound, and weather.

Peru Balsam
500.00TL
Balsam Peru is like a warmth that slowly darkens within the tree. Its dark balsamic body initially evokes vanilla, warm wood, and a hint of licorice; then, a cocoa-toned depth emerges, along with soft leather and the natural roundness of resin.
It is sweet but not sugary. Its intensity resembles the smoothness of a natural balm that has darkened over time, rather than a dessert. While its creamy aspect sometimes recalls the fullness of a white flower, subtle spicy and woody nuances prevent the scent from becoming monotonous. On the skin, it feels progressively warmer, softer, and darker.
Although its name includes Peru, the commercial history of this material is closely linked to Central America, especially El Salvador; the name "Peru" is a trace left by historical trade routes. Its scent also has a similar sense of layering: the familiar vanilla-like warmth at first glance deepens into resin, wood, dark floral, and light leather as one gets closer.
Scent character: Dark balsamic · vanilla-like · warm woody · creamy · slightly licorice-like · cocoa-shaded · soft leathery
Feeling: A warm, smooth balsam slowly ripened within dark bark.
Made to order
Certificate of authenticity
The Story
Some scents are made. This one was waited for — coaxed from resin-veined heartwood that took decades to ripen in silence.
The Harvest
Harvested by hand from naturally infected heartwood, each fragment is graded by scent alone, the way it has been for generations.
Patient Aging
Rested in glass for years beneath changing light, the oil softens and deepens into leather, honey and smoke.
“To wear oud is to carry a forest, a season, and a century on the skin.”
Questions
Before You Wear It
How should I apply this oud?
Apply a single drop to pulse points — wrist, neck, behind the ears. Concentrated oils bloom over minutes, so wear sparingly.
How long does it last?
Pure oud oil is exceptionally long-lasting; expect 10–12 hours on skin and considerably longer on fabric.
How is it shipped?
Each order is hand-packed in a protective case and dispatched with tracked, insured delivery.
