Comment Scents
We are so passionate about our Ouds, fragrances and perfumes that we want to share some of the stories behind them.
From those inspirations to our shared experience, we hope you enjoy this journal as much as we enjoy creating new and unique scents that transform good times into great memories.
Oud: A Luxurious Fragrance Ingredient
At Oxford Ouds, we love Oud oil because it is so long-lasting on the skin. It has an addictively woodsy smell that lasts for hours, and it doesn't fade away or mix with your body's natural odour. Because of these properties, perfumers can use much less oud than synthetic fragrance oils to produce a characteristic scent that lasts all day. Oud oil is also expensive, which makes it an highly desired ingredient for luxury fragrances.
A living tree can take up to 100 years to grow to maturity, which makes it extremely valuable and therefore expensive…
Kringle Tingle, time to mingle
Imagine you could take all the anticipation and excitement of getting home for the holiday; of meeting old friends for a drink.. of that delicious home cooked lunch coming out of the oven… that sense of the familiar, a feeling of protection and comfort… now imagine you could bottle that up into a scent to wear over the Holiday season.
That was the inspiration for Kringle Tingle.. our seasonal addition to the Oxford Oud collection of fragrances.
