Oud-extracting techniques have been known to mankind for centuries. The intoxicating scent is mainly associated with India and the Far East. Oud is derived from the agarwood tree after going through a natural reaction to its environment. This leads to the formation of a richly aromatic resinous substance, known as the epitome of luxury and highly coveted. 

The cost of oud perfume typically ranges between $20 to $1000. You would be surprised to know that the world's most expensive perfume, Shumukh, costs $1.29 million and also holds its place in the Guinness World Records.

What Makes Oud So Expensive? 

From having a cultural significance to being used in religious practices has gained immense popularity. In the Western world, its unique fragrance and character are known as “warm and woody”. 

However, the main reason why it's expensive is because of the complicated way it's harvested. When a tree is infected, a protective layer forms to protect it, from which Oud is extracted. The process is also a long one, the agarwood tree needs to be at least 25 years old, as the young tree would not have the scent.
