Arabian Fragrances and Scents for Ramadan and Eid

From incense to oils to Eau de Parfum, oud is a fragrance that has long been associated with Arabia.

In fact, burning oud - or agarwood - is an old tradition practiced in many homes across the Gulf, including the UAE and Saudi Arabia, and you can't walk through most malls or souks without smelling it.

The intensely woody and rich scent oud is used as a gift to social occasions like weddings and engagements and is a symbol of warm hospitality. During Eid, it is customary to burn some and let the fragrance of its smoke fill the house while receiving visitors.

Nowadays, many people wear it as a perfume and since the Holy Month is upon us, it's the perfect time to embrace the robust scents of Arabia with these top 7 oud scents and fragrances.
