Oud vs. amber: which one suits you?

Oud is a resin formed in agarwood. It is dark, woody and often smoky, with a depth that unfolds slowly over hours.

Amber is not one material but an accord: soft resins, vanilla and labdanum blended into something warm, round and sweet.

If you like scents that feel quiet and enveloping, start with amber. If you want presence, a trail that people remember, try oud.
