Bakhoor / Oudh / Oud

 

Bakhoor (or oudh, oud) is an Arabian incense based on agarwood (which is sometimes also known as oud/h). Traditionally bakhoor is small chips of agarwood soaked in fragrant oils and perfumes, so the scent is not agarwood alone. The term oudh (or oud) appears to be as much (or more) associated with bakhoor as agarwood. In my experience Indian incense which has oudh/oud in the name will lean more toward the Arabian tradition of a heady, cologne accented woody-agarwood scent, though sometimes will be in the Asian tradition of  a straight woody agarwood.
