This is not a perfume. It is a highly concentrated fragrance oil designed for crafting end products such as candles, diffusers, perfumes, soaps, and other personal care items. Do not apply directly to the skin. All our fragrance oils are measured in grams, not milliliters. Bottle fill levels may vary due to differences in oil density, which affects volume.
This material is supplied as a raw ingredient. Full compositional and allergen information is provided in the SDS and Allergen Declaration documents found in the “Related Documents” tab. Compliance of the final product remains the responsibility of the manufacturer.
Behavioral Profile
- Diffusion: Medium, dense and controlled
- Texture: Smooth, slightly resinous with a dry woody-leathery depth
- Opening Impression: Minimal, spice-led with restrained lift
- Structure: Strongly base-driven with a high carrier phase and compact core
- Character: Dark, cohesive, and enveloping with a slow, persistent evolution
Black Oud Fragrance Oil is a base-driven woody composition built around a dense aromatic matrix that emphasizes control, smoothness, and depth. The oud character is constructed through a combination of woody-amber materials and resinous facets, creating a refined and modern interpretation without the harshness of traditional tar-based accords. A high carrier phase ensures cohesion and a seamless evolution, while musky and fixative elements provide lasting presence. The result is a dark, structured fragrance with a compact diffusion and a rich, persistent trail.

Discoloration potential: Light
Although the base of Black Oud Fragrance Oil is very stable, the methanoazulene content introduces a small but real chance of slow yellowing or golden-brown darkening if exposed to air, light, or heat over time.
- Some yellowing to mild golden hues could develop after long exposure to light, heat, or air.
- Candles and diffusers will likely show very little color change.
- Cold process soaps might see a slightly deeper color shift over months if unstabilized.
Application Compatibility
This fragrance is oil-soluble and designed for use in oil-based and alcohol-based formulations. It does not mix directly with water-based systems without the use of an appropriate solubilizer.
Storage
Store in a cool, dark, and airtight environment to preserve stability and minimize oxidation over time.
Usage & Performance

- Initial scent evaluation (10g sample)
- Small batch testing (e.g. 50g scale)
- Full-scale production once performance is validated
Testing under your specific conditions is standard practice in product development. Evaluation at each stage is required prior to scaling.
