Black Oud essential oil (Aetoxylon Sympetalum) is sourced in Indonesia, specifically on the island of Borneo. It is obtained by steam distillation of Aetoxylon wood. This wood comes from a variety of tree similar to Agarwood, which is part of the Oud family. This fragrance with character intrigues with its leathery notes. This scent intensifies when the material is distilled into essential oil, while retaining its sweetness, almost as if you were in the middle of a shop selling new shoes.
Traditionally, Black Oud essential oil is useful for treating emotional, nervous and psychological problems. It has the ability to induce a deep meditative state. It is also widely recognised for its aphrodisiac properties and for combating insomnia. An oriental ‘Peace & Love’!
OLFACTORY DESCRIPTION
The Black Oud, or Aetoxylon, is often considered the youngest of the oud family. However, without putting it in competition with its counterparts, one can only marvel at this singular woody note. Instantly very leathery, the trunk still reveals subtle gourmet tones of nuts and toasted caramel. The animalic note that gradually settles in is most elegant, guaranteeing a tenuous balance between the pyrogenic and woody facets.
