The complex perfume ingredient oud holds a central and symbolically important role in the fragrance culture of the Middle East. Today, it is also a common fragrance note in Western perfumery.
In this lecture, you will learn about the historical origins of oud and its sociocultural role in perfume history. Drawing from historical and literary sources, we will journey from the ancient forests of Asia to modern department stores, while sampling both the raw material and traditional as well as commercial perfume interpretations.
