White Oudh with Sandalwood Attar

Origin of Aranyam's White Oudh with Sandalwood Attar

Aranyam's White Oudh with Sandalwood Attar is a fragrant homage to the rich tapestry of traditional Indian perfumery, blending the mystique of White Oudh (Agarwood) with the serene notes of Sandalwood. This exquisite attar draws inspiration from the ancient forests of India, where these precious woods have been revered for centuries, not just for their captivating aromas but also for their spiritual significance. White Oudh, sourced from the heartwood of the Aquilaria tree, is particularly valued for its rarity and the intricate process required to obtain it. When combined with the creamy warmth of Sandalwood, the result is an attar that transcends mere scent to become an olfactory experience steeped in heritage and tranquility.

Extraction Process

Creating White Oudh with Sandalwood Attar is a delicate art requiring patience and expertise. The process begins with sourcing White Oudh, which involves carefully selecting Aquilaria trees infected with a specific mold. This infection triggers the tree to produce a dense, fragrant resin within its heartwood, which is the essence of Oudh. The resin-imbued wood is then harvested and subjected to hydro-distillation, where the pure Oudh oil is extracted.

Sandalwood, conversely, comes from the mature heartwood of the Sandalwood tree. The wood is ground into a fine powder and also distilled to extract the oil, a process that can take several weeks to ensure the capture of its total, rich aroma.

The final step is blending White Oudh and Sandalwood oils in precise proportions. This meticulous process ensures that the deep, complex notes of Oudh harmonize with the soft, creamy essence of Sandalwood, creating an attar that is both balanced and profound.
