What Is Oud Perfume? Discover the Rich World of Oud at Kennedy’s Pharmacy

When it comes to luxurious, long-lasting fragrances, few scents command attention quite like Oud. Known for its rich, woody intensity and warm depth, Oud has become one of the most sought-after ingredients in modern perfumery. But what is Oud perfume, and why has it become so popular?

At Kennedy’s Pharmacy in Ballymena, we offer a handpicked selection of Verset Parfums, including both Oud-based and softer, everyday scents. Whether you’re a fragrance enthusiast or simply curious about trying something new, this guide will help you understand the power of Oud — and where to find it.

What Is Oud Perfume?

Oud, also known as agarwood, is a dark, fragrant resin produced by the Aquilaria tree when it becomes infected with a particular type of mould. The resin is rare, precious, and highly aromatic, making it one of the most expensive ingredients used in perfumery.

Oud’s scent is distinctive and long-lasting. It's often described as:

• Woody and smoky

• Warm and resinous

• Deep and slightly sweet

• Sometimes earthy or leathery

Oud is traditionally popular in Middle Eastern perfumery, but over the last decade, it has gained global recognition for its luxury and depth. Today, many designer brands and niche perfumers feature Oud in their most exclusive blends.

Why Choose an Oud Perfume?

If you enjoy fragrances with presence and longevity, Oud is a great option. It’s ideal for those who:

• Prefer warm, intense scents

• Want a fragrance that lasts from day to night

• Are looking for something bold and distinctive

One of our standout Oud-based fragrances is Verset Parfums Oud Wave (50ml). This scent blends traditional Oud richness with modern freshness, creating a well-balanced fragrance that’s both elegant and wearable. It’s perfect for evenings out or for those who like their perfume to make a statement.

Prefer Something Softer?

If Oud feels a bit too bold for your everyday wear, Verset Parfums also offers beautifully soft and sophisticated scents like Silk Dream. This fragrance is perfect for those who enjoy subtle elegance with staying power.

• Verset Parfums Silk Dream (50ml): A gentle and graceful fragrance with floral and musky notes — great for daytime use or as a go-to signature scent.

• Verset Parfums Silk Dream (100ml): The same beloved scent in a larger bottle for those who can’t get enough of its soft charm and longevity.

These perfumes are ideal for layering or gifting, offering great value without compromising on quality.
