Afghan Oud

Origin and History
Afghan Oud transports you to the rugged highlands of the Hindu Kush, a region celebrated for its ancient aromatic traditions. In the early 16th century, the young Emperor Babur, founder of the Mughal Empire and a lover of nature’s beauty, made Kabul his capital and adorned its terraces with lush gardens and fragrant woods. Among these precious materials, oud held a special place for its smoky depth and spiritual resonance. This fragrance captures the essence of those mountainous landscapes and the refined taste of a ruler who cherished poetry, botany, and the art of perfumery.

Mystical and Majestic
Afghan Oud is a bold, earthy fragrance that reflects the wild grandeur of its homeland and the sophisticated legacy of a visionary empire-builder.

• Top Notes: Fresh mandarin orange and green cypress conjure the crisp air of Kabul’s hillside gardens.
• Middle Notes: Labdanum, Egyptian rosewood, and jasmine lend warmth and gentle elegance, echoing Babur’s love of florals.
• Base Notes: Smoky oud, amber, cedar, vetiver, and musk create a rich, grounding finish—an olfactory tribute to the mingling of nature and nobility in the Afghan highlands.

Gender: Masculine. Ideal for those who appreciate bold, historically resonant scents that bridge untamed landscapes and refined cultural traditions.
