In Abu Dhabi airport, the middle eastern men were all wearing the same amazing perfume...what is it called? ?

Question

In Thailand and Abu Dhabi I noticed that all of the Indian and Middle Eastern men had the same wonderful smell. I'm wondering what perfume it is that they are wearing.

Answer 1

I am not sure if the Indians ( I am one ) use that perfume.

These perfumes are mainly derived from Oud.

Few perfume oils have the mystique of Oud. Oud is made from the fragrant resin found in Aquilaria trees, commonly referred to as Agarwood, Aloeswood and Eaglewood. It has been loved and treasured for thousands of years, by mystics and romantics alike. Oud is proclaimed as a aid to spiritual meditation. Lovers use it as an aphrodisiac.

Indeed, the hunger for Oud is so great that in most parts of the world Agarwood trees are nearing extinction and the wood is obtained by poachers. Agarwood is believed to have originated in the Assam region of India, and from there spread throughout southeast Asia. Oud now comes from India, Vietnam, China, Cambodia, Indonesia and the Philippines… and while trees dwindle, the demand keeps growing.
