Oud is an aromatic oil produced from the wood of the Aquilaria tree, also known as the oud tree. It is an important component in many traditional Middle Eastern fragrances and is used in perfumes, incense, traditional medicine, and more.

Bakhoor is an incense made by mixing fragrant woods and other ingredients with oud oil. Typically burned in a special incense burner called a mabkhara, the smoke has a number of benefits, including purifying the air and helping to relax the mind.
