How is Oud Made? Preserving the Ancient Art of Distillation

How is Oud made?
Oud oil, in some forms, has been produced for thousands of years. As can be expected from a resource which has been cultivated for this much time, the process has generally changed. At Jamali Fragrance, we see the importance in preserving the ancient techniques and methods that have been passed down through the generations.
To us, the value of Oud oil lies in more than its rarity, rich scent and transitional qualities from skincare to medicine, but also in its power to transcend the ages. Considering this, we believe that it would be a disservice to those that produced Oud oil in times gone by to not hold true to their methods.
