Diptyque pays homage to one of the most precious ingredients in modern perfumery. The Oud scented candle exudes a mysterious, woody, slightly animalic fragrance, accompanied by the oriental facets of incense and the warm, intense notes of patchouli and sandalwood.
Oud – Liquid Gold
The intense scent of oud comes from its dark and resinous wood. The wood contains an aromatic and rich resin that is formed in response to a fungal infection or injury. More valuable than gold, also known as ‘liquid gold’ or ‘wood of the gods’, it has been highly prized for thousands of years. It takes around 10 years to harvest high-quality natural oud. Diptyque and perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin selected oud wood from northern Laos for its unique, high-quality fragrance properties.
