Byredo Oud Immortel

The duo Oud Immortel and Accord Oud are both based on Oud, a specific type of wood that has gained significant cultural importance through its use in traditional incense and perfume, and is mentioned in one of the oldest written texts in the world, the Sanskrit Vedas from India. When the once light core wood of the Aquilaria tree is infected by a certain type of mold, it defends itself by saturating its core with a dark, highly fragrant resin. This dark wood, Oud or Agarwood, possesses a complex scent that resembles few or no other natural ingredients.
