Why Oud is the King of Notes – The Timeless Scent of Power

For centuries, oud (also known as agarwood) has been revered as the most luxurious and powerful fragrance note in perfumery. Called “liquid gold” in the Middle East, oud is created when the rare agar tree becomes infected with a natural resin, producing one of the most precious raw ingredients in the world.

At Al Mulk, we embrace oud not only for its rarity, but for its ability to transform a fragrance into a statement of prestige. Rich, smoky, and complex, oud is the note of royalty.

Here’s why oud remains the King of Notes:

1. Rarity & Value
Oud is more expensive than gold by weight. Its exclusivity makes every oud fragrance feel like a treasure.

2. Timeless Luxury
From ancient temples to modern-day luxury perfumes, oud has always been a symbol of wealth and power.

3. Depth & Complexity
Oud can smell woody, smoky, leathery, even sweet — giving endless layers of sophistication.

4. Signature of Al Mulk
Fragrances like Royal Nomad, Sultana, and Oud for Kings showcase oud at its finest, blended with florals, spices and amber to create scents that leave an unforgettable trail.

✨ At Al Mulk, we believe oud is not just an ingredient, but an experience of power, heritage, and elegance.
