Oudh is a resin released by the Aquilaria tree. Developing over many decades, Oudh is priced above rubies. This extremely high-quality Oudh / Agarwood incense is a true work of genius – its fragrance ethereal and complex. Deeply woody and just the right level of ‘farm-y’ to make this perfect.

What our customers had to say…
“I gathered this was a customer favourite but I have always been on the edge about Oudh, having smelled amazing and dreadful versions. This, however, has made me an Oudh for life kind of person. Absolutely enchanting. It’s something beyond words, just try it. This is the Don Perignon of Oudh incense.” – png

“Tonight I have used a sample of your frankincense, which came with my recent order. This is the first time that I have experienced the same smell from a stick incense that I have from resin frankincense, which I have used many times and is another favourite of mine. I currently have another brand’s frankincense and the smell is nice but completely different. I truly believe that you are in a league of your own and you will always have my support.” – Nigel

“Beautiful, peaceful, calming aroma. Such an amazing scent! I had heard great things about Nag Champa incense and its ability to calm the mind and create a serene atmosphere/environment, however the Nag Champa I had previously bought from another provider did not give this same effect. A few seconds of burning this and I was transported back to beautiful temples and my childhood! It is very difficult to describe in words how amazing this incense stick is – however if you buy it, you will not regret it!” – G3
