The fragrance opens with subtle spicy notes of clove and cumin, leading to an oriental/smoky heart of agarwood, sandalwood, leather and patcouli before resting on a smooth resinous base of vanilla, amber and styrax.

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.

Discoloration Potential: Heavy
Oud Incense Fragrance Oil contains a rich composition of ethyl vanillin, cinnamaldehyde, cinnamyl alcohol, benzyl salicylate, and multiple resins and essential oils such as patchouli, cedarwood, clove oil, and guaiac wood oil. These materials are highly prone to oxidation and polymerization, leading to strong ambering or browning.
- Discoloration toward deep amber or dark brown is very likely over time.
- Ideal for incense, oud, oriental, or smoky product concepts where darkening enhances the aesthetic.
- Not suitable for white, pastel, or transparent bases where color stability is critical.
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
Fragrance performance varies depending on the base, formulation, and production conditions. Cold throw, hot throw, diffusion strength, and longevity are influenced by the materials used and the manufacturing process.
A typical development process involves:
- 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.
Recommended usage guidelines
- Candles: 7%-12%
- Reed diffusers: 15%-25%
- Personal perfumes: 10%-15%
- Soaps: 1%-3%
These ranges reflect typical formulation practices and are provided for general guidance only. They do not represent maximum permitted levels.
