Arabian Oud

The Story of Arabian Oud

Born in the heart of the Arabian Peninsula, Arabian Oud stands as one of the world’s most prestigious perfume houses — a symbol of authenticity, craftsmanship, and olfactory heritage. Founded in 1982 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the brand was built upon a deep cultural reverence for oud — the rare and precious resin long cherished as the “liquid gold” of the East.

From its earliest days, Arabian Oud sought to elevate traditional Middle Eastern perfumery into an art form that transcends time and borders. Each creation is a symphony of natural woods, resins, florals, and musks, masterfully blended to honor Arabian tradition while appealing to contemporary sophistication.

The essence of the brand lies in its devotion to purity and detail — from the meticulous distillation of oud oils to the luxurious presentation of each bottle, crafted to reflect both modern refinement and royal heritage. Every fragrance tells a story — of desert winds and ancient trade routes, of luxury born from nature, and of memories woven into scent.

Over four decades, Arabian Oud has grown from a local perfumery to a global luxury house, with boutiques gracing London, Paris, Dubai, New York, and beyond. Yet, at its core, it remains deeply connected to its roots — preserving the art of perfumery as a form of cultural poetry.

Arabian Oud does not merely create perfumes — it creates legacies. Each bottle is a tribute to the timeless elegance of the Arab world, inviting the wearer to experience fragrance not just as a scent, but as an identity, a story, and a journey.
